The Long Walk

Reviewed By TalDarkLeanMean - Staines, United Kingdom

The Long Walk as the name says clearly, is at least a 2 mile straight line walk from Windsor Castle gate to the King George Horse statue where tarmac ends. Its located in Great Windsor Park and used for all kind of Royal activities, weddings, funerals, special occasions and most recently Prince Harry wedding. It's kind of mistake to come here on summer weekends because it gets more crowded than M25 but generally winter midweeks when the weather forces people to stay indoors, you can walk the long lonely road by yourself. The best time is of course the autumn afternoons when sunlight is shining through the perfectly lined 2 tree columns. The walk itself is not only refreshing, calming, scenic but easy too. Even a child in pram can do it. I love it so much that I drive 7 miles from where I live to come here, park and walk. Because here I can get my daily dose of outdoors without getting mud on my shoes.

Reviewed By chrisdodd4 - London, United Kingdom

The Queens Walkway is a circular tour starting from the entrance to Windsor Castle and ending by the Queen Victoria Statue please pick up a leaflet at the tourist information centre this displays the history and what the walkway is used for.

Queen Charlotte Street

Reviewed By 968nicholash - London, United Kingdom

This street measures just 51 feet and 10 inches long and is included in the Guinness Book of Records as the shortest street anywhere in Britain. The length is not all that makes it interesting. On one side is The Crooked House, thought to be the oldest tea house in England. At one end is a lovely old traditional pub, The Carpenters Arms. At the other end is the Jubilee Fountain, erected to mark the Silver Jubilee of the current Queen. There's a wall plaque in the street confirming its length and its unique place in history. Very well worth seeing while you're in Windsor.

Windsor Royal Station

Reviewed By BackinBracknell - Bracknell, United Kingdom

It's much more of a shopping mall now as there's only one platform of the original station in use. It's also known as Windsor & Eton Central (not to be confused with Windsor's other station which is called Windsor & Eton Riverside).The ornate canopy has been preserved and there are lots of shops and cafes plus a replica steam engine. A nice place with an old fashioned feel.

Queen Victoria Statue

Reviewed By futtock21 - London, United Kingdom

In this lifesize bronze statue cast by the Queen’s own sculptor-in-ordinary Sir Edgar Boehm for her Silver Jubilee in 1887 Victoria appears the mistress of all she surveys. A decade later her statue was given a canopy for her Diamond Jubilee. Contemporary photographs show her funeral cortège passing by only three years later. What is striking is how little has changed around the statue over a century later apart from the demolition of a wall separating the footpath from the lawn at the foot of the castle in the early 1960s.
