Windsor Castle

Windsor Castle, an official residence of The Queen and one of her favourite homes, is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. Since the building of a wooden fortress here at the time of William the Conqueror, the Castle has been transformed over the centuries into a splendid palace, while still retaining much evidence of its turbulent past.

School visits to Windsor Castle offer a wealth of opportunity for learning outside the classroom, development of key skills, and curriculum enrichment.
