Take in splendid Windsor Castle
For a right royal short break, tourists should stop off at Windsor Castle.

The largest inhabited castle in the world, the attraction is still used as an official residence by the Queen and draws in millions of tourists ever year.

Visitors will be able to take in five main areas during a trip to the castle, which includes the Queen Mary's Dolls House and St George's Chapel - the burial place of various members of the royal family including the Queen Mother.

Meanwhile, the Castle Exhibition and State Apartments are also accessible to visitors, as semi-state areas such as the Green Drawing Room are open to the members of the public between October and March.

In addition there is the opportunity to go on a number of guided tours and activities specially catered for children, as well the chance to view daily occurrences such as the changing of the guard, not to mention special events.

Those looking to make the most of a wonderful weekend in Windsor should also look to take in Legoland and the Windsor Arts Centre.
