Windsor Castle & Eton College & Runnymede Tour

Windsor Castle + Eton College + Magna Carta private tour

Windsor Castle: This magnificent gothic fortress and royal residence has roots going back almost 1,000 years to the Norman Conquest, with significant Tudor, Stuart and Regency expansion. Extravagant in every way (well, it is a royal palace) and spanning seven royal dynasties, it is the present monarch’s weekend home of choice. The medieval St. George’s Chapel is magnificent too, a kind of mini Westminster Abbey.

Eton: Windsor’s village neighbour, crossing the Victorian bridge over the River Thames, and home to exclusive Eton College since the 15th century – it has educated 20 British Prime Ministers, James Bond and Captain Hook! We’ll stroll through this atmospheric village and have a look at the college buildings and gothic chapel.

Runnymede: Where King John sealed Magna Carta in 1215, having unsuccessfully hidden from his barons at Windsor Castle. We’ll see the Magna Carta Memorial, the (JF) Kennedy Memorial, an oak tree planted in American soil and a remarkable work of public sculpture. This area is not wheelchair accessible.

Windsor, Eton & Runnymede are an approximate 60 minute drive from central London.
