When you travel in England, you can’t miss the visit to Windsor Castle. It started from the 11th century.
Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest lived-in castle in the world and it’s been a popular place for royal family. It is a resting place for the kings and queens of England in both life and death. It is also one of the most family-friendly castles in UK, so a visit to Windsor Castle with kids is a wonderful day trip from London.
Many official ceremonies(仪式) take place at Windsor as well. An interesting event to visitors is the year-round Changing of the Guard(卫兵交接仪式), a tradition since 1660.
