Windsor Castle

Rating: 4.7 /5

1165-1179 Originally one of the Norman castles marking the route into London taken by William the Conqueror, the site was ideal for a royal castle as it was out of town but within a days journey. Because of the position of Windsor it had vast amounts of money spent on it turning it into a palace without changing it from a fortress. The attached parkland provided both hunting and timber for construction and fuel. It is the largest inhabited castle in the world divided into three wards, the lower - St George's Chapel, built in the perpendicular style and housing the Albert Memorial chapel; the middle - the Round Tower from which one can see twelve counties; the upper - which contains the private and state apartments.
