One of the most famous royal heritage sites, Windsor Castle, was founded by William the Conqueror and has housed British royalty for over 900 years. Windsor Castle was famously a personal favourite of Queen Elizabeth II, and has housed as many as 40 monarchs throughout history. Known for its lavish interiors and over 13 acres of land, this historic royal palace offers plenty for tourists to marvel at.
If you’re wondering if Windsor Castle is worth visiting, we’d argue that it is one of the most important British royal family homes in recent times. So, come along on a Windsor Castle tour.
Join Alfa Holidays on a coach trip to Windsor to walk the very grounds that Queen Elizabeth treasured so dearly and get a taste for the incredible history of the destination.
Amongst acres of greenery and vibrant gardens sits the stunning Sandringham Palace, King Charles and Camilla’s countryside retreat. Hidden away in Norfolk, the home became a royal residence in 1862, welcoming five entire generations of royals within its walls.
This royal residence is open to the public, with tours of the main house available for exploration. Despite its grandeur, there is an undeniably wholesome feeling to this British royal family home, so it’s no wonder it’s where the family often choose to spend Christmas together.
