Abstracted from an internet written guide. This is something which we could undertake ! NOTE: There is no suggested date for this trip at this time.
Dominated by the oldest inhabited castle in Europe, the country towns of Windsor and Eton make an easy excursion from London. Windsor Castle has been the scene of many hauntings but since the majority of these are in areas that are inaccessible to the public, overed are only those that can be seen from the town itself.
Eton is the home to England’s top public school, Eton College. Its High Street is lined with delightful buildings from all ages, and there are numerous dark and sinister alleyways that lead to some extremely spooky back streets.
Highlights of the walk include a stroll through Windsor Great Park and Windsor Guildhall, a 15th-century building where there is a gruesome reminder of Eton’s past as well as magnificent views of the castle itself.
