According to the official website, Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. I'm sure that's true, but my favorite thing about it is that it actually looks like a castle, or at least like a castle as I imagined them when I was a child. It sits at the top of a hill along the high street, and seems to stretch on forever, and you can see the various towers in the distance all over the city.
I went there many years ago, and wasn't tempted to buy a ticket yesterday. It was a beautiful day, and I was happy to walk through the city, watch the swans on the Thames, sit in the Alexandra Gardens and read, and enjoy the castle from the outside.
