Why Move to Windsor?
The Royal Borough of Windsor is in the southern county of Berkshire. It boasts a glorious riverside setting and is famous for its royal connections, the area is steeped in the pageantry and history of the royal family. Commonly known as the site of Windsor Castle, the largest inhabited castle in the world, it is one of the occupied homes of the British Royal Family.
This buzzing Thames side town has just about everything going for it, hence it has extremely high property prices. Not only does Windsor give its inhabitants a quick rail route for working in the Capital (Paddington via Slough in under 30 minutes and Waterloo in 55 minutes) there are also other local employment hubs nearby at Slough, Maidenhead, and Reading.
Just because you live close to the city does not mean you have to compromise on green space. The ever-changing landscape of Windsor Great Park is home to an incredible array of flora and wildlife, making it a great place to explore nature’s beauty, no matter what time of year. Thanks to its tourist trade, Windsor is filled with expensive boutiques, grand cafes, and chic restaurants. Contrastingly, just over the river, Eton is far quieter, its single commercial street is flanked by antique shops and art galleries.
While having the benefit of London on your doorstep creates a myriad of opportunities either for work or play. To sum Windsor up, it offers those lucky enough to live here, a rich mix of history, culture, heritage, and fun as well as being a favourite for riverside living, top schools, good shops, and a fast commute to London.

However, you have no need to opt for fee-paying schooling as there are several “outstanding” state schools available such as St Edward’s Catholic First School. For 11-16-year-olds, The Windsor Boys’ School has been given a “good” and the Windsor Girls’ School achieved the Ofsted rated” outstanding” status.

Things to do in Windsor
Due to the castle, Windsor is a popular tourist destination and has facilities usually only found in much larger towns. This includes two railway stations, a theatre, and several substantial hotels.
Windsor Castle was founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, it has since been the home of 39 monarchs. Today the Queen spends most of her private weekends at the Castle. Much is open to the public and it provides an insight into the Royals as well as the grandeur of it all. A guided tour is recommended.

The ceremonial Changing of the Guard is one of the highlights of a visit to Windsor. It takes place every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday (weather permitting) and it too won’t cost a penny to watch.
The Royal Windsor Maze is a one-way, flat brick maze with a chess theme that will appeal to all ages as there are several ways to play with it. Great fun for the little ones, this is a must visit in the area. Plenty of families flock to Legoland!
