General presentation
Windsor, Eton et Tamise
Royal castle, historic streets, colleges, parks and walks on the banks of the Thames.
Legoland Windsor, Windsor Castle and Eton give the most telling landmarks of Windsor, Eton and Thames. Together, they form a destination where urban life, heritage, riverscapes and leisure worlds meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to anticipate: very touristic and tickets and timetables of the castle to anticipate. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Amusement Park
Legoland Windsor
Legoland Windsor features interactive attractions, small coasters and models over the Thames Valley. Miniland allows to observe lively cities in bricks while the driving zones, knights and ninjas give children an active role. The park primarily targets families with school-age children and requires a separate day from Windsor Castle.
Castle
Château de Hampton Court
Hampton Court mixes Tudor palaces, baroque apartments, large kitchens, geometric gardens and labyrinth on the banks of the Thames. The place is valid for the variety of indoor and outdoor atmospheres: red bricks, successive courtyards and flooring tell centuries of British royal power.
Castle
Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle immediately sees itself as a major landmark, with an architectural mass and perspectives that dominate the landscape. Its place in the territory is understood by surveying its surroundings and then entering the finer spaces. Slowness reveals the use of time and materials.
Royal Park
Windsor Great Park
The Windsor Great Park offers a natural alternation between aisles, clearings and distant views of the countryside. The beauty comes from the slowness of the walk, with subtle changes of light under the trees. It is a place of breathing where relief and vegetation tell the space.
