The largest occupied castle in the world, Windsor Castle is probably the castle most associated with the British Royal Family. Even for non-monarchists, the castle merits a visit.
While walking through the woods along a canal east of Windsor, I suddenly saw the contours of the castle I was heading for. Windsor Castle is an extensive castle, and its towers form a skyline in itself. Unfortunately, the path skirted the canal, but there was no way to cross. Even if there would have been, it would not have been possible since most of the grounds surrounding the castle are not open to the public. When I finally reached the castle, I saw that I was not the only one as long queues were waiting for a ticket. I entered Windsor Castle through one of the many gates, and after a short walk during which I saw the well kept gardens, I saw St. George Chapel slightly below me on the left. I also saw a crowd gathering right next to the Chapel, and I decided to have a look.
