I got up early to head over to Windsor, which was about a 45 minute train ride from London. I really enjoyed the town of Windsor, and the castle was beautiful as well. Thankfully I had bought a ticket online, because the line was long and I got to cut in front right away. I've been to castles before, but this one really took the cake. It is still a working castle (the Queen was there during my visit. No I didn't see her, but we were breathing the same air).
Everything was seriously grand and big and royal and you could tell that it was full of history. I felt like every thing in that castle would have a story if items could talk. The things they must have seen, the well to do people who have used them or looked at them or admired them. It's hard not to imagine the young royals running through those halls or all of the family events that must have happened. It's easy to forget that this is technically a home that we're touring about, but one that is so incredibly famous.
After touring through the castle, seeing the guards march about and taking tons of photos, I headed to walk around town and grab some lunch. I found a pub called "The Duchess of Cambridge" so obviously, I had to eat there. It being Sunday, I wanted to try a Sunday Roast at least once and they had it here. I had the Roast Beef with veggies, Yorkshire pie, potatoes and a few other sides. It was really tasty.
Filled with food, I wanted to walk a bit more, so I headed to Eton (yes, where Wills and Harry studied. No not a stalker). It was a beautiful walk and that day the college was closed for some sort of fancy ceremony. I also walked around the castle grounds towards a bit of the "Long Walk" literally how it sounds....a long walking path around Windsor.
It was a great day outside of the city! Glad I got to enjoy this small piece of Royal History!
