Charming royal town with cobbled streets, riverside walks, traditional pubs and views of Windsor Castle.

Clustered around the castle’s walls, Windsor’s historic town centre offers cobbled streets, traditional pubs, boutiques and riverside walks along the Thames. The town grew in the Middle Ages as a royal and market settlement supporting the castle and still retains an intimate, small‑town charm despite its global fame. Visitors can explore narrow lanes with period architecture, enjoy classic English dining, and browse independent shops. The proximity of the castle creates constant visual drama, with views of battlements and towers appearing at the end of streets. It is an ideal place to linger before or after a castle visit, soaking up everyday life in a royal town.
