One of the most infamous schools in the UK, Eton is a private boarding school. Many prominent politicians, as well as members of the royal family, have attended the all-boys school near Windsor.

Windsor Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world - it's home to The King and over 900 years of royal history.
Founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, it has since been the home of 39 monarchs.

The Castle itself is at the top of a steep hill, but it's visible from the road so you can get a sneaky peak as you roll past on the bike!
