On Sunday the 4th May I headed out to Windsor Castle for the day. I had never been there before and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The Castle itself was fantastic and walked around the beautifully groomed gardens and entered the State Apartments. As I arrived there was a Royal Orchestra playing and many people sat on the grass and listened to the beautiful symphonies that they played.
Windsor Castle, the largest and oldest occupied castle in the world, is one of the official residences of Her Majesty The Queen. The Castle's dramatic site encapsulates 900 years of British history. It covers an area of 26 acres and contains, as well as a royal palace, a magnificent chapel and the homes and workplaces of a large number of people.
What there is to see;
The magnificent State Apartments are furnished with some of the finest works of art from the Royal Collection, including paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens, Canaletto, Gainsborough and the famous triple portrait of Charles I by Sir Anthony van Dyck.

Among the highlights of a visit to Windsor is Queen Mary's Dolls' House, the most famous dolls' house in the world.
The day was very enjoyable and would most definitely go back again.
