As the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world, Windsor Castle is definitely recommended viewing during your visit to England. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth still spends most weekends in residence at the castle and often entertains visiting dignitaries in the sumptuously appointed St. George's Hall. There is a great deal to see at Windsor Castle, and you need to set aside at least a half day to fully appreciate this remarkable 900-year-old castle. You can get a good overview by joining a 30-minute Precinct Tour before entering the castle. Some of the highlights of your tour will include the State Apartments, St. George's Chapel, Queen Mary's Dollhouse, and the Semi-State Rooms. On certain days you can watch the Changing of the Guard ceremony through Windsor Town - see the website for more details.
