We have been staying with friends in Cobham Surrey and we visited Windsor which is less than half an hours drive away.
I love Windsor. I love that the Castle is right there overlooking the main street of the town. Officially know as the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. Windsor Castle is the largest and oldest inhabited castle in the world and apparently the Queen's favourite weekend home.
With a rich mix of history, culture and heritage it's one of the loveliest destinations in the UK.
We didnt visit the Castle but we did take a 40 minute boat trip along the Thames past the racecourse and Eton College. Past narrow boats and motor boats moored under the shade of the huge willow trees dipping down into the water. We saw quite a few brave souls in swimming. It was a very warm day in the mid thirties.
When the boat turns around at the lock you get a wonderful view up river to the Castle.
