Windsor Castle is arguably the grandest and most impressive castle in the world, a residence and power symbol of royalty in England. William the Conqueror originally built this fortification as part of a defensive ring of castles surrounding London in his conquest of the British Isle in 1066. The castle keep and exterior walls are immaculately maintained and look like they were just completed.
The interior takes you through former bedrooms of past rulers and grandly decorated halls. One of the finest halls has a massive collection of armour, with swords, battle axes and guns all arranged into collages. There are also secret doors blended into the walls in some rooms that feed your imagination on where they could lead. The majority of the Kings and Queens of England have had a direct influence on the construction of the castle. The design has changed and evolved according to the times, finances and ideas of successive monarchs. Exploring the castle, the cathedral and manicured grounds of Windsor gives you a look at the power and opulence of 1000 years of British royalty. Don't miss this amazing piece of human history.
