Things to do in  Windsor & Eton

Regal and rarefied, Windsor and Eton carry their posh pedigree with undeniable pomp. The twin towns are often considered the seat of Britain’s political and social power, as Eton College—which dates to 1440—has hosted young princes, aristocrats, and future prime ministers. Just across the River Thames is Windsor, crowned by Windsor Castle (the world’s oldest continually occupied royal fortress) and Frogmore House, a lavish country estate. Other top things to do in Windsor and Eton include visiting Runnymede (site of the signing of the Magna Carta) and the expansive Windsor Great Park.
