About Activity
Located on the South Bank of the River Thames, the town is dominated by Windsor Castle, the largest and oldest inhabited castle in the world. The late Queen of England made it her home and it was her favourite holiday residence, and yes, it’s worth all the fuss.

Before heading to Windsor and Eton on your day trip, you'll make a stop at the historic Runnymede Field, the location where King John signed the Magna Carta in 1215, the first-ever document to place limitations on the powers of the monarchy and establish the principle of the rule of law. You'll feel the weight of the momentous events that took place here and appreciate the role they played in shaping modern democratic society.
Your journey continues in Windsor, where you can enjoy a self-guided visit to the majestic Windsor Castle (tickets not included), the official residence of the British monarch, where you'll get a glimpse into the luxurious lives of the royal family. Admire the stunning architecture, the magnificent St George's Chapel, and the beautiful gardens.
Next, you'll have free time to explore the quaint town of Eton, just across the river. Home to the prestigious Eton College, this town boasts a rich history and charming architecture, perfect for a leisurely stroll.
You will also stop by one of the many local cafes for a cup of tea and a slice of cake or explore the many boutique shops for unique souvenirs.
