2. St George’s Chapel: Where Kings and Queens Rest

St George’s Chapel is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in the UK. It’s the spiritual heart of Windsor Castle and the final resting place of many monarchs, including the late Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Phillip, as well as legendary monarchs like Charles I and Henry VIII. It also served as the romantic setting for Prince Harry and Meghan’s royal wedding back in 2018.

Whether you’re drawn by its architectural beauty or its historical significance, St George’s Chapel is a moving and memorable stop and well worth exploring on a private Windsor Castle tour.

3. Windsor Great Park: Stunning Countryside and Serenity

Windsor is however much more than just the Castle. Alongside the charming historic town and the River Thames, a visit to Windsor cannot be complete without a drive through the Great Park, offering a moment of tranquility amidst your sightseeing.

Once the private hunting ground of royalty, this sprawling parkland now welcomes visitors with miles of walking trails, ancient oak trees, deer herds and sweeping views of the castle from The Long Walk — an iconic avenue leading directly to the castle gates.
