Windsor – 6 Quirky Facts
- The Castle That Gave Its Name
Windsor Castle’s wine cellar holds 18,000 bottles of wine. 40 reigning monarchs have lived in what is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world and it has withstood two sieges. The royal family are even named after it having changed their German name ‘Saxe-Coburg-Gotha’ to Windsor in 1919 as it was considered not the best moniker to maintain morale during WWI. - Great Windsor!
Windsor Great Park is 4,500 acres and the entire Windsor Estate covers 15,800 acres. The Long Walk which offers the most incredible views of the castle and is the route taken by visiting dignitaries is 2.65 miles long. We’re just glad we don’t have to sweep that driveway on snow days! - It’s Not Old
The original village of Windsor (that gave its name to the castle, that gave its name to the royal family) is now called Old Windsor and was the home of Edward the Confessor back in the 10th century before the current castle was built. - Short Street
Queen Charlotte Street is officially Britain’s shortest street measuring just 15.8 metres (51 feet and 10 inches). You’ll also find some charming leaning buildings here that make Pisa look positively perpendicular! - Rock Royalty
You don’t have to have appeared on a stamp to become a local. Other famous faces to have lived in Windsor include Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Elton John, Billy Connolly, Michael Caine, Ranulph Fiennes, James Blunt, Nick Faldo, William Shakespeare, Heston Blumenthal, Terry Wogan and Chesney Hawkes. - Red vs Blue
Red Windsor is Berkshire’s only native cheese, it’s made using port which gives it its distinctive taste and colour. Windsor is the only place in the UK to have a blue post box. Originally these were introduced to receive airmail until some bright postie reasoned that it was easier to separate the letters from the red boxes than to create extra post boxes across the British Isles. Doh!
Local Info
Schools – For families making the big move, you can research schools using the latest Windsor Ofsted scores.
Population – The You.Gov census in 2011 records Windsor’s population as 31,225.
Transport – With great access to the M4, Windsor is a short drive from Heathrow Airport and the M25 motorway. It’s a 46-minute drive to central London. There are no fast trains to London, the fastest train takes around 55 minutes. Windsor Great Park and Legoland are both an easy drive from the centre of Windsor.
News – It’s little wonder that a town that attracts so man column inches should have two local newspapers, the Windsor Observer and the Windsor Express.

About Windsor
A town steeped in history and its royal connections, away from the castle and famous residents Windsor is a fascinating place with good shops, great food, excellent eateries and plenty of green spaces. Within the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, it’s the only Royal borough outside of London.
The town is naturally proud of its heritage and it does have traditional values. Local companies pride themselves on good service and old fashioned values that help create a community, small town atmosphere. Sitting on the banks of the Thames, the town offers plenty of places to walk or exercise and charming cafes and restaurants if you’d prefer to ingest rather than burn calories.
There is a packed events calendar and of course plenty of Royal pageantry that is difficult not to enjoy.
Leisure
Live entertainment can be found at the Theatre Royal, while movie buffs can take in a ‘talkie’ at The Screen cinema. There is a very well-equipped leisure centre with two swimming pools (one for fitness, one for fun), all weather sports pitch, sports hall, gym, cycling studio, fitness classes and even an escape room.
Throughout the year Windsor hosts a number of events including a food festival, fun run, chilli, folk and dance festivals. There is a royal horse show, a dog show, plus Windsor Racecourse (also fun for folks who enjoy a flutter) and Hampton Court Palace both host big names with the likes of Sir Tom Jones, Rick Astley, Jools Holland and Biffy Clyro all lighting up the summer evenings.
Golf and riding fans are also very well catered for with a number of stables in the area and several top-quality golf courses to work on your handicap. You can explore all 4,500 acres of Windsor Great Park or young minds and fingers will find plenty to do at Legoland which is located just outside the town. If your fingers are of a greener persuasion, Kew Gardens are 30 minutes by car.
Transport
46 minutes from central London (unless you take the train which will have you at London Paddington in 55 minutes), Windsor offers superb transport links. Heathrow Airport is a 15-minute drive and motorists can be at the M4 and M25 within a few minutes. Slough, Reading, Wokingham, Eton, Bracknell and Epsom are all in easy reach for commuters.
