Short description of Windsor

Windsor is an elegant town on the River Thames, best known for Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world and one of the official residences of the British monarchy.

Across the river lies Eton, home to the prestigious Eton College, while boat trips along the Thames offer scenic views of the town and castle.
