Town in Berkshire, England
“Discover a lesser-known destination filled with authentic charm and unexpected moments.”
Windsor is a historic town in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in Berkshire, England. It is home to Windsor Castle, one of the official residences of the British monarch. The town is located 21.8 miles (35.1 km) west of Charing Cross in central London, 5.8 miles (9.3 km) southeast of Maidenhead, and 15.8 miles (25.4 km) east of the modern county town of Reading. It lies immediately south of the River Thames, which forms its boundary with the smaller and historic town of Eton. The village of Old Windsor, just over 2 miles (3 km) to the south, predates what is now called Windsor by, possibly, 300 years. Until 1974, Windsor was sometimes officially referred to as New Windsor to distinguish the two.
