Combo TourWhy Combine Stonehenge & Windsor?
Both landmarks sit within 90 minutes of central London and can comfortably be visited in a single well-planned day. Sharing transport between the two makes the combination excellent value — and the contrast between prehistoric mystery and royal splendour makes for an unforgettable experience.
Both Within 1.5 Hours of London
Windsor is just 25 miles west of London and Stonehenge is 85 miles west — a natural route that makes a combined tour highly efficient.
Outstanding Value
Booking a combined tour is significantly cheaper than visiting each site independently and arranging your own transport. Entry to both sites is typically included.
4,500 Years of History in One Day
Move from Neolithic prehistory to medieval royal grandeur in a single day — few day trips in England offer such a dramatic span of human history.
Windsor Castle: What to Expect
Windsor Castle is the world's oldest and largest inhabited castle, and the official residence of the British Royal Family. First built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, it has been continuously occupied by the monarchy for nearly 950 years — making it one of the most historically significant buildings in the world.
Today, Windsor Castle opens its doors to visitors year-round, offering access to some of the most spectacular royal interiors and historic architecture in Britain.
State Apartments
The State Apartments are among the grandest in any royal palace in the world. Walking through these lavishly decorated rooms — hung with works by Rubens, Van Dyck, Rembrandt, and Gainsborough — is a highlight of any visit. They are used by the monarch for official state functions and remain decorated largely as they have been for centuries.
St George's Chapel
One of the finest examples of medieval Gothic architecture in England, St George's Chapel is the burial place of ten British monarchs including King Henry VIII and King George VI. It is also the spiritual home of the Order of the Garter, England's highest order of chivalry, founded by Edward III in 1348.
The Long Walk & Windsor Great Park
The Long Walk stretches for three miles from the castle's George IV Gateway to the Copper Horse statue on Snow Hill. Flanked by chestnut and plane trees, it offers extraordinary views back to the castle and through Windsor Great Park, one of the oldest and most beautiful royal parks in England.
Changing of the Guard
The Changing of the Guard at Windsor takes place most days and is one of the great free spectacles of British royal life. The New Guard marches from Victoria Barracks to the castle accompanied by a regimental band, replacing the Old Guard in a ceremony that has taken place here for centuries.
