Windsor Castle is the largest and oldest inhabited castle in the world (or in Europe depending on your source). It is one of the Queen's homes. Eton is the site of the oldest school in the UK, the prestigious Eton College.
On Father's Day, we ventured for a day trip to Windsor and Eton. Of course it was Dave's choice. The train ride was cheap and remarkably quick.
