Your journey follows the River Thames where passengers will see several notable sites. Pass several Victorian reservoirs constructed to supply water to London and its surrounding suburbs, as well as passing the riverside home of David Garrick an 18th Century actor, playwright and theatrical producer. On the approach to Windsor, drive through Runnymede where the Magna Carta was signed by King John in 1215. Today the Magna Carta is commemorated by a monument donated by the American Bar Association.
The Shuttle arrives in the center of Windsor approximately 30 minutes after leaving Hampton Court Palace for passengers to visit Windsor Castle. Windsor Castle has much to offer visitors; it is the largest and oldest occupied castle in the world and is one of the official residences of the Queen. It was originally built by William the Conqueror in the 11th Century and has seen many extensions and fortifications by English monarchs over the years.
The State Apartments are open to the public from March to October and art lovers will be impressed by a collection of some of the finest paintings by Rembrandt, Canaletto and Gainsborough. Visitors can also view George IV’s private apartments which are some of the most lavishly decorated rooms in the castle. St George's Chapel is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England. It is the spiritual home of the Order of the Garter, the senior order of British Chivalry established in 1348 by Edward III. Within the chapel are the tombs of ten sovereigns, including Henry VIII and his third wife Jane Seymour, and Charles I. More recently the Queen Mother was buried here.
Windsor Castle is a working palace and may be closed for State functions so visitors are advised to check opening times before they visit. Audio guides in many languages are included in the entrance charge. This tour takes you through the Castle Precincts, the State Apartments and St George’s Chapel. The commentary provides a lively guide to the Castle’s history, from William the Conqueror, through medieval expansion, George IV’s Gothic transformation and The Queen’s use of the Castle today. Along the route, staff of the Royal Household explain the role of the Castle today as an official residence of The Queen and talk about their work, from arranging a State Banquet for 160 guests to restoring the historic interiors following the devastating fire of 1992. Woven into the tour are the unique sounds of the Castle, from the music of St George’s Chapel choir to the chimes of the famous collection of clocks.
Windsor has an abundance of shops, restaurants and pubs which visitors may wish to visit before returning to their final destination later in the day at their own pace.
