WALKING TOUR IDEAS:

WINDSOR CASTLE TOUR

This tour operates during the visitor opening hours of Windsor castle and St George's Chapel. We take in a section of the south-facing facade of the castle, selected areas of the external Lower, Middle and Upper Wards and North Terrace. During this time we explain the history, architecture and traditions of the castle and chapel. On weekdays and Saturdays, the tour also includes entry into St George's Chapel. (The tour price does not include castle entrance fee). (Guiding in the State Apartments is done through the auspices of an audio-guide and the castle Wardens, in line with the castle security rules.)

WINDSOR TOWN WALK

This walk is for anyone wishing to get a nice, tidy overview of Windsor, without having to read an entire guide book! We give an overview of Windsor's history, delve into town life, explain the pageantry, the army and the influence of the royal family. We also touch on the importance of the river, its traditions, including swan upping and cover comic tales and anecdotes concerning some of the famous people who have lived here.

MEDIAEVAL WINDSOR

Windsor has a very colourful history, the Mediaeval period being prominent. It was the time when the longbow reigned supreme and the castle became the stone fortress that we know today.  Hear tales of kings, playwrites, poets and ordinary people who lived during those times and helped to shape Windsor and the nation.

WINDSOR'S PUBS AND PEOPLE

Windsor has a large number of pubs and hostelries but few visiting them know the vast history that lies behind such establishments. Weaving our way through town, we stop at pubs with an interesting and colourful history, as well as many shops and restaurants familiar to all that started life as alehouses many centuries ago.

SOLDIERS AND SIEGES IN WINDSOR

With its castle and two barracks, Windsor's present and past are inextricably linked with the lives of soldiers. This walk incorporates stories from the early castle days, when local unrest and sieges were typical, to civil war, to foreign wars where disease became an unexpected adversary. We also touch on pageantry and the way the Household Division has a special place in our hearts.

TUDOR WINDSOR

This walk incorporates stories which range from the building of various sections of the castle and the chapel to the Tudors' activities in the forest, what went on in the market place and the schools and how Shakespeare came to town to write The Merry Wives of Windsor.

GEORGIAN WINDSOR

This walk covers the area around the central train station, the Long Walk, Batchelor's Acre and bits in between! The focus is on the Hanoverian kings' influence on Windsor, what happened here during their reigns and also their personal activities and interests here.

VICTORIAN WINDSOR

This walk extends outwards from the central train station, towards the barracks, the garrison church and the well-hidden Prince Consort Cottages.  Learn how Windsor expanded under the reign of Queen Victoria and the benefits the railway brought to town. Hear about the celebrations for Queen Victoria's jubilee and what additions she made to the castle, as well as about the role of the Household Division in Windsor.

HENLEY TOWN WALK

Whilst gently strolling through town, learn about Henley’s evolution from simple riverside village to the centre of a tug-of-war during the Civil War, to thriving coaching interchange, to rowing Mecca.  Walk includes details on Leander Club and the history of the famous regatta.

MARLOW TOWN WALK

Not as famous as Henley or Windsor, but still a charming town with a very interesting history, involving brewing, the job of the barge-men, the building of Marlow's bridges and its rise to fame as a rowing centre. A good selection of shops and restaurants and some lovely green spaces are an extra enticement
