A bastion of English royalty for almost 1,000 years, I’ve long wanted to visit the beautiful castle of Windsor. Just a short train ride from London, it commands the landscape from its hilltop overlooking the river. On this sunny spring Sunday we wandered the grounds between St George’s Chapel and the State Apartments, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere and the sense of history. The State Apartments drew us out of the sunshine with stories of banquets had and knights dishonoured. When we’d seen all we could short of hopping the fence into the Queen’s private apartments (not recommended) we headed down the Long Walk for a proper Sunday roast and views of the park surrounding the Castle. A perfect Sunday excursion!
