Windsor Castle in Berkshire is the largest and oldest occupied castle in the world, a royal residence that has been continuously inhabited since William the Conqueror built the original fortification in the 1070s, and the weekend home of the British royal family throughout its history. The castle complex covers approximately 13 acres and contains the magnificent State Apartments with their exceptional collections of paintings, furniture and decorative arts, St George's Chapel which is one of the finest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in England and the burial place of ten monarchs, and the historical exhibition spaces that interpret the castle's thousand-year history. The castle is open to visitors when not in use by the royal family and is one of the most visited heritage sites in Britain. The surrounding Windsor Great Park provides extensive parkland walking, and the historic town of Windsor with its shops, restaurants and the Eton College connection provides a comprehensive visitor destination.
