About Windsor, England

The name Windsor may be more immediately associated with the royal family than a place in south-eastern England, but a visit to this town offers an opportunity to experience locations and attractions that are majestic enough to do justice to the name.

Serving as a popular short break destination for people from across the UK and the rest of the world, the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead presents a unique combination of 1,000 years of history with contemporary shopping, dining, sports and leisure opportunities. Visitors looking to explore this picturesque and fascinating location can book at the Copthorne Hotel Slough Windsor to ensure they have a comfortable and convenient base for their travels.

One of the first stops for people on a trip to Windsor is the world famous Windsor Castle. This grand building is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world and the official residence of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The castle has a rich history stretching back nearly 1,000 years. It has seen many eras come and go, from times of conflict and rebellion that required fortifications to the structure, to more peaceful periods that allowed decorative embellishments. Ten British monarchs took the Windsor Castle chapel as their burial place, including Henry VIII, Charles I and George VI.

Today, visitors are able to explore the castle's state apartments - extensive suites of rooms at the centre of the working palace - and at some times of the year the semi-state rooms are opened, giving the public the opportunity to see some of the building's most impressive interiors. The castle houses works of art by the likes of Holbein, Rubens, Van Dyck and Lawrence.

A visit to Windsor is by no means restricted to its magnificent castle, however, as the town provides plenty of opportunities for family entertainment, including the Legoland Windsor park on Winkfield Road. This theme park boasts over 50 interactive rides, as well as live shows, building workshops and driving schools that allow children to sail on the high seas, soar through the air and take to the road in complete safety.

While the children are amusing themselves with the myriad attractions on offer at Legoland, visitors whose interests run more to sporting entertainment may be interested in visiting the famous Ascot Racecourse. Ascot is one of the UK's premier horseracing venues and it will present one of the highlights of its season, Royal Ascot, in June this year. This event, which will run from June 17th to 21st, will comprise the Queen Anne Stakes, the Gold Cup, the Golden Jubilee Stakes and more.

Another event in Windsor likely to attract the interest of sports fans this year is the Royal Windsor Triathlon, which will see participants swimming, riding and running through various locations in Berkshire, on a route that takes in 900 years of British history. Visitors to Windsor can see this impressive spectacle bring the whole town to life on June 15th.

Visitors whose interests are not piqued by theme park visits and days at the races may like to explore Windsor and Eton's shopping scenes, where mainstream retailers and designer boutiques can be found alongside antiques stores and souvenir shops. In the nearby village of Bray, visitors will find the Michelin-starred Waterside Inn, Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck restaurant and Giancarlo Caldesi's Caldesi in Campagna.
