Several times a week there is a guard changing ceremony at the castle. The new guard march up the hill with band and then exchange responsibilities with the old guard outside the Chapel. The old guard march back to barracks and I think the band plays in one of the central courtyards. You can get the times and days from the website, it might be every day in the summer holidays. Also if you approach one of the ceremonial warders (not the actual armed guard) they can stamp your ticket before you leave and it remains valid for a whole year.
Nice video. Good that you included Eton as well. I have strong family connections with Windsor Castle as my Great Grandfather worked as Page of the presence to Queen Victoria and lived there. I also used the Castle as a playground when I was a kid as It was free to enter in those days😂
@@stuartgooding7295 everyone outside the UK is... the French are in the EU, the UK not... so who cares about the UK??? are you leaving soon for the pacific? or do you keep polluting the North Sea with your sewage!
You were right to be terrified. Those weren't birds, they were swans, aka murder ducks. They look pretty but that's just to disguise the cold, dead soul that lies within. I'd like to say I was kidding, and I half am because most of the time they're fine but if they feel threatened they will let you know, or if they're in a bad mood, or if you have food you're not sharing, or... Glad you guys are having fun kicking around the UK though Hope you found a good pub or two along the way.
I remember flying from New York to London on Pan Am in the 1970's As we approached Heathrow from the west the pilot said to the passengers, "those sitting in left hand window seats will have a great view of Windsor Castle, home of the Queen of England". Dumb American replied "Why would a Queen build her castle under the approach to a major airport.? I didn't dare try to educate her.
"There are very few castles dated with certainty from the mid-9th century. Converted into a donjon around 950, Château de Doué-la-Fontaine in France is the oldest standing castle in Europe" (Wiki) I guess I've been tricked.
Do you know a lot of our churches are as old. My Local church from where i grew up is dated eleventh century . Its older, But no one could write around that area before then. Its a big spired church high up with a sandstone wall around its front. It has been gifted lands over the centurys and has been a big land owner. The area is mainly farming and agriculture. But its in the north west of England. Histotoric building are all over Britain.
my insignificant country got just over 25.000 castles.... we have churches you can place your Westminster thing inside and still have plenty of space left!
@@Arltratlo Good for you. I wasnt talking about the world. Just that we still have a lot of our Historic propertys not destroyed. I am also glad that other Historic places exist. But i was already aware of that. I just wasnt talking about your Country of origin wherever that may be. But im sure theres videos on the Tube showing the splendor of your Nation.
The Norman's built Windsor Castle. Didn't they already have Castles in Normandy? Although Norman in old French means Norse / North Man .Yes the Norse ,Came a Viking, Liked and Settled.
I`d be very surprised if the Castle at Windsor is the oldest one in Europe. It is likely the best preserved. Arundel Castle can`t be that far away from Windsor, itself being rather well preserved. The only drawback in getting to Arundel Castle is the 3/4 mile walk up to it, on a straight and boring road from the train station.
Over 1,000 former pupils of Eton died in the first world war and a similar number dies in the second. This compares to 700 in WW1 from Wellington College, which is the college most closely associated with the Army so there were some obligations for the boys who went there along with the privileges.
The wedding of Prince Harry and "that woman" was the least important thing that ever happened in St Georges Chapel.You obviously missed the fact that King George 111rd, the last King of America,and King Charles 1st, were buried beneath the Quire.
Exactly, William built Windsor, but was born at the Chateau de Falaise (still standing built around the year 1000), he then went on to build the Chateau de Caen in around 1060 as the Duc of Normandy, before he became king of England, this too is still standing. Windsor is the oldest INHABITED castle.
you must be American, you need to make better researches..... superficial isnt flying in Europe!!! Château de Doué-la-Fontaine in France is the oldest standing castle in Europe.... Google is working in English, too!
@@clarajoelle Don't lose any sleep over it. Nobody would be really offended, especially seeing as though you are an American and obviously interested in the sights you were able to visit (and their history). This is the first of your videos I have seen and I guess it was the algorithm that chose it for me. It is clear that you are good at this sort of stuff! Well done!

Windsor is the oldest continually inhabited castle in the world, not the oldest castle in Europe.

It is the oldest inhabited castle in the world
Yes true but not the oldest castle that's in France 😊
@@traceys8065yea but let's face it who cears about France 😂
Edinburgh Castle has been inhabited longer.
Oldest and continuously inhabited Castle in the world

Funny seeing the town where you live - Windsor- through the eyes of a tourist! Have never walked to some of the areas shown in Eton though !!
It's beautiful! Had a lovely time visiting :)
i went there, too....
Versailles is much better... but its not in the UK, i just can drive there from my country...without a passport!
Woooah new content.
Yes!!!!!
Thanks Stephen!!! :)

Wow! Tom is a bundle of laughs, huh?
he really is :)
Hello, you two deserve each other.
Thanks! We agree :)
Most of it was built under George IV. The Norman bit is the round tower.
Magnificent video
Thank you!

I think she meant longest-occupied royal palace/castle in Europe. Which is true.
@@daydreamer7618 Oh, because I'm reading "Oldest Castle" with no additional information 🤭
Never quote Wikipedia as your source

Yeah not the oldest
It’s the oldest and largest inhabited castle, not the oldest castle.
@@littleannie390 Fair play - I wasn`t listening hard enough.
interesting
Jam BEFORE cream on the scone. Dear oh dear.
And a dessert called an Eton Mess .Essentially what the Etonian Prime ministers have done for the Country. Left it a bloody Mess .

Absolutely! Thanks for sharing this - I hope they are all at peace in their resting places
Eton/Harvord so what, I do not begrudge anybody whatever education, good luck to them I say 🤔 Jealousy is a terrible thing.
It's such a shame they built it so close to Heathrow Airport though.
😂 😂

@@amandafischer184
Some would say Warwick Castle is the oldest inhabited castle.
Warwick was built in 956, Windsor 1070. Warwick is lived in.
Always get one.
problem, the oldest castle in euro is in France and in England it is Berkhamsted. Windsor isn't even in the top 10. Sorry
You are correct! But it is the oldest inhabited castle :)
Edinburgh Castle is older.
the English dont care what you have to say, so stop talking!
Is it that you just want you in the video or you're afraid your handsome partner might take the limelight 😂
Clarification: Windsor is the oldest French castle in England!
The White tower at the Tower of London is much younger it was completed a decade later.
Actually it's been added onto through the centuries so it's both
you must be American, you need to make better researches.....
superficial isnt flying in Europe!!!
Château de Doué-la-Fontaine in France is the oldest standing castle in Europe....
Google is working in English, too!
Please don't call our Queen Lizzie.
Also, Windsor I not in Europe. Comtinents are landmass. We are an island off the coast of Europe.
So Japan isn't in Asia? Did you study geography, the UK is certainly part of the European continent.
You're right - I didn't realise calling her Lizzie was considered rude, I apologize, I was wrong.
Take it from an Englishman, it's a term of endearment. You're apologising to an uptight arsehole.@@clarajoelle
Continents consist of landmasses and islands and Britain and Ireland are part of Europe.
