A day at Windsor

For my last day in London I decided that I quick train ride out of London to Windsor would be the deal, get away from the crowds of London and take a trip. So off to Windsor Castle it was, something I hadn't done before. As some of you will be aware that since the restoration from the fire at Windsor castle the Queen has decide to opening the Castle up to the public. I headed off pretty early and arrived at the castle not long after it had opened. And what a beautiful day it was, the weather was perfect at around 28 degrees. Below are a few photos of the castle as you arrive.





The moat that once was around the tower has now been turned into this beautiful garden, I think it is the first castle I have been to that has the moat in the inside of the castle walls. Below is just one of the many photos I took of the garden.

St George Chapel was next on the list, the chapel built by Edward IV in 1475 the architecture was amazing inside and out, the detailon the outside was amazing, As the castle has been a royal residence for over 600 years the Chapel along with everything else is in amazing condition. Henry VIII is buried here


From the back of the chapel is a great view over Windsor


I was also luck enough to catch the changing of the guard.

Below are a couple of other photos I took of the grounds within the castle



On my way back to the train station I found the pub and Mum I thought you might like to aspire to these hanging baskets and window pots :o)
