WINDSOR, UK: Best Things to Do FROM A LOCAL | Travel Guide

Windsor, Berkshire is famous for it's castle and royal weddings. It also happens to be the town that I grew up in, so this is my overview of all of the best things to do - from a local's perspective!
From Windsor Castle to Windsor Great Park, Legoland to Eton College - there's loads to see! It's very easy day trip from London, either by train or bus. The proximity of the main sights makes it very easy to explore.

SIGHTS FEATURED:
- Windsor Castle
The oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. It's Queen Elizabeth's preferred weekend residence and can you blame her? It is also the home of St George's Chapel, where Harry and Meghan's wedding ceremony is taking place.
- The River Thames
The Thames flows through the whole of the Royal Borough. French Brothers offer some really good boat tours, as do Duck Tours and some smaller motorboat and rowing boat companies. The best view of Windsor Castle is from the river.
- Legoland, Windsor
This is where I got my first ever job! With its exciting rides, shows, and LEGO building workshops, this is a perfect destination for the kids. Be careful though, tickets are expensive if you don't book in advance!
- Eton and Eton Collage
Home to the iconic Tudor-era boarding school that has produced 19 of the UK's prime ministers. Eton is a lot less crowded than Windsor and well worth a look.
- The Long Walk / Windsor Great Park
The most well-known image of Windsor Great Park is arguably the iconic view down the Long Walk, towards Windsor Castle at the far end. This tree-lined avenue stretches down towards the ancient fortress, illustrating the regal grandeur and Royal heritage of Windsor Great Park. Harry and Meghan will be driving down the Long Walk on their wedding day.
- Windsor and Eton Brewery
Fancy sampling locally brewed beer? Then look no further than Windsor and Eton Brewery. You can find them at 1 Vansittart Estate, Windsor SL4 1SE

Thanks for watching another travel guide everyone! Anybody visited Windsor before? I'm very excited about the next video, back to the cinematic short film style...

[@myfamilytravelzone3936]

For your kids, Lego land would probably be No1 :), but all five places (Windsor castle, river Thames, Town of Eton, The Winsor great park, and the long walk, Brewery) would be worth to visit. Great quality as always!

[@OneShotAdventures]

MY FAMILY TRAVEL ZONE thank you! I think some adults quite enjoy Legoland too (sometimes more than the kids haha)

[@CoachMarySkating]

awesome your video editing is on point!

[@OneShotAdventures]

HealthyVenturer thank you!

[@zitanewcome1164]

Very nicely done! !

[@OneShotAdventures]

Zita Newcome thank you!

[@exploreearth6275]

Really nice list So many amazing things to do in Windsor

[@TheWineLady]

I visited Windsor in 1998. It was amazing. I can’t believe it’s been two decades!!!! I need to go back

[@OneShotAdventures]

It probably hasn't changed too much, but still very busy now because of Royal Wedding fever!

[@LookWhosBlogging]

The Windsor Castle looks pretty cool. I think I had been on a boat tour on River Thame....that's the same one that goes by the Big Ben, right? Legoland!! We have that in SoCal too!! Never heard of Eton. Windsor Park looks nice. Dang, the Long Walk!! LOL at I didn't walk it! My wife would love the breweries!

[@OneShotAdventures]

Yep, it's the same river that runs right through London. The Legoland in Windsor is actually the second oldest of the parks, first one to be built outside of Denmark - fun fact haha

[@Escapethecouch]

You Sir are a great cinematographer. Superb pacing in your videos

[@OneShotAdventures]

Escape the couch thank you!

[@InspectahDek]

Quality video. Nice to see a different side of Windsor.

[@OneShotAdventures]

Thanks!

[@DutchNomadFamily]

This is a really stunning video, the reason why I love watching videos on KZbin, just got to surprised by the creativity and the cool tips of course.

[@OneShotAdventures]

Thanks so much guys :)

[@meletispix]

This was so good mate! Can't believe I didn't know about the brewery! will have to check it out next time I visit 😂✌

[@OneShotAdventures]

Thanks buddy! It's so good there... If you visit again, I'll have to show you my Windsor pub crawl route haha

[@meletispix]

haha deal! 😆🍻

[@cultureatz]

Wow growing up next to that is something for sure lol. Wow you worked at Legoland lol, never been to any. the long walk sounds awesome, impressive to see. Beer!

[@OneShotAdventures]

Evelyne at CulturEatz haha yep, grew up in Legoland essentially

[@WanderfulRevolution]

We visited Windsor during Christmas! Absolutely loved it! The castle is amazing and the pubs are friendly.

[@OneShotAdventures]

Wanderful Revolution the pubs are amazing at Christmas! I just wish there was more a Christmas market in town

[@TheWorldnUs]

My goodness that is a long walk! I don't blame you for not doing it that day.

[@OneShotAdventures]

Haha luckily I had tested out my gimbal a few months before so I could use the old footage!

[@PuriandSue]

Wow the place looks incredible!! It really stole our heart!! Really love your work! What a great video!! Oh that brewery... we need to get some!! What an awesome sight of the Windsor castle!

[@OneShotAdventures]

Puri and Sue thanks so much guys! Hope you visit one day

[@jimpomac]

Loved the video. Before moving to Canada, I spent the first 22 years of my life in the area {Englefield Green} with the Great park as my childhood playground . Later Windsor town was one of the great Riverside towns where I Misspent my youth. The Ricky-Tick club in its various incarnations was host to some of the best bands in the world ,as was the Windsor Jazz and Blues festival. The pubs past and present have always been great, although the rivalry between the local male population and the Military, for the affections of the local Debutantes, has always been a bit testy. I visit as often as I can and always recommend Windsor over Buckingham Palace as the place to see the Changing of the guard. Cheers !

[@TheJourneyest2016]

Everyone has been raving about the royal wedding all the activities. Great idea to do a video featuring where the wedding would be. Love the footage well done

[@OneShotAdventures]

Thanks, I did see a huge jump in views when the wedding was going on!

[@JeanetteUba]

Oh, you worked in the Legoland, that's cool! Windsor is on my travel list and I'm pretty sure I'll go there this autumn, so this video was very helpful! I need to try this beer!

[@OneShotAdventures]

Żaneta Uba it was good fun at Legoland! That's awesome, hope you enjoy it. Would love to see your video about it

[@MamitagAdventures]

Awesome video! Windsor Castle is a beautiful castle to visit!! We didn't get to see all the other places, so thank you for sharing. You can't go wrong with all the Pubs too. So much to choose! Keep up the great contents my friend!

[@OneShotAdventures]

Mamitag Adventures cheers man 🍻

[@GoTravelOnTheCheap]

Wow. I missed so much when I went to Windsor 5 years ago. The castle took up must of my day and I wanted to see Stonehenge. I cant wait until I get back to England.

[@OneShotAdventures]

Go Travel On The Cheap ah yes, a lot of people tend to do Stonehenge and Windsor in the same day. The castle is the main draw for sure

[@GoTravelOnTheCheap]

Thanks for another fabulous film! You got skills :-)

[@edlumley8437]

If you ever fancy a duck tour, give us a shout! Fantastic video of Windsor and love the editing.

[@OneShotAdventures]

Ed Lum cheers Ed! Would love to go on a Duck Tour!

[@edlumley8437]

[@joseleoncio-santoandre-bra432]

A very good job man. Thank you 👍

Another great video. We are planning to go back to England at some time but next year is all booked up.

[@OneShotAdventures]

Travel Rocks Our World thanks Sean!

[@Familytravelgo]

I really love you videos so detailed in both the footage and the narrations. I’d love to try the samples of beer! Windsor looks great!

[@OneShotAdventures]

[@katielivingabroad]

[@OneShotAdventures]

Study Hard Travel Smart thank you, that means a lot :)

[@VeganVoyagers]

wow that Windsor castle is so beautiful! Will definitely check it out when we are in the area. Great video- thanks for sharing!

[@OneShotAdventures]

It's pretty impressive! Easy to day trip from London. Thanks for watching!

[@EpiphanytoTravel]

I have visited Windsor- beautiful! Loved this video- love London!

[@OneShotAdventures]

Travel By A Sherrie Affair thank you!

[@SkyelinesandSunsets]

Windsor is your home town? We love it there. Try to have a few days there every year. It's probably our favourite place in the UK. Another excellent video by the way. Always think your videos are so professional....it's like watching a TV travel series...but better!

[@OneShotAdventures]

Skyelines and Sunsets ah that's awesome, you must have seen most of these spots then? Thank you!

[@ItsChrisLloyd]

Another fantastic video, Ryan! Those are some lovely places you featured, thanks for showing us around your hometown!

[@OneShotAdventures]

CriscoLloyd thanks so much man, glad you enjoyed it!

[@TheTravelBugBite]

Wow, I would LOVE to visit this town! I've never even watched any of the royal weddings, but being there would be so cool. Thanks for sharing! What a beautiful place :D I would love to see it in fall, all that green in vibrant colors would look amazing.

[@OneShotAdventures]

TheTravelBugBite thanks for watching!

[@EllaMcKendrick]

Great video! I'd love to visit Windsor Castle at some point. Side note but I went to see the last Royal Wedding (William and Kate). I was quite far back in the crowd but I got to see the Queen and was really chuffed!

[@OneShotAdventures]

Thank you! Wow, thats awesome. How early did you get there for?

[@EllaMcKendrick]

This was a while ago so I struggle to remember! We stayed in a flat in Westminster then I do remember getting up super early (didn't even have breakfast!) and walked about 5 minutes to opposite the church. We probably had one of the best view points to be fair but it still felt quite a way away. We got to see everyone arriving and leaving the church and they blasted the sound of the ceremony around the area.

[@nearlyretired7005]

Same you can't wite England You 'saw" the Queen,well done

[@JakeRoman]

Dude no lie this video could be straight off the travel channel. Damn 😂 I can see how much work you put into your stuff! You make me look like sweaty broccoli over here haha. :) Peace, JR.

[@OneShotAdventures]

Jake Roman hey man, thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@AlbertoMendoza]

Nicely done! Great editing and this made me want to visit Windsor.

[@OneShotAdventures]

Glad you liked it!

[@travelpockets]

I never understood the obsession with the royal family but ever since I watched The Crown on Netflix, I'm obsessed! These are great suggestions on what to do around Windsor. You're a wonderful host!

[@OneShotAdventures]

Travel Pockets haha I can definitely relate to that! The Crown is so good

[@alexandracelebrante9275]

What a channel...I loved...thanks for this video

[@r0Ky23]

Damn, another great video man, love the start with inserts of old footage, like some humor in there with that walk :D I'm gonna put Windsor on schedule when we go to England next time, it looks beautiful :)

[@OneShotAdventures]

Rok Močnik thanks man, let me know if you decide to visit!

[@GoYvon]

Perfect timing to upload the video :) The Long Walk looked really cool from up high. Imagine going over that path with your horse, years ago... Must be so cool to live in this area as a kid, pretending to be a knight :)

[@OneShotAdventures]

GoYvon I did love it here as a kid! Thank you for watching

[@AdventureEverywhere]

No way, that old picture of you is classic! The long hair! So we've actually been to Windsor, but not Eton. Next time, we'll check it out. great stuff, as usual.

[@OneShotAdventures]

Adventure Everywhere haha I had to put that in there! Awesome that you've been to Windsor before, did you do a day trip from London?

[@AdventureEverywhere]

Actually we did...well more specifically from Surrey where we were staying with friends. It's in our "How to do an English Literary tour" vid, but I don't think we got much of it into that video.

[@OneShotAdventures]

Adventure Everywhere oh awesome! I used to live in Surrey too (granted it is quite a big county)

[@AdventureEverywhere]

We were staying in Cobham.

[@OneShotAdventures]

Adventure Everywhere oh cool! I used to live in Kingston, which is pretty close by

[@peterdavies4807]

Thanks, my home town too, from 1945 to 1962.

[@WhattheKell]

Amazing story telling (as usual), entertaining, and loved the editing!

[@OneShotAdventures]

WhattheKell thank you! This is my first time properly filming myself in "vlog" style, so I'm glad you liked it 😊

[@WhattheKell]

One Shot Adventures i liked the "vlog" style. Gave it more of a personal touch and it makes sense, since it's your hometown. Looking forward to more!

[@OneShotAdventures]

WhattheKell thank you! 😊

[@kimjones7391]

Thank you 🇨🇦

[@TheTravelsOfZ]

I can just spend a whole just at the castle, no need for anything else. love the intro btw.

[@OneShotAdventures]

The castle is cool, but as a local you don't tend to go too often haha

[@SatelliteSounds]

Living here now. Lovely hometown you have. This was really well made. I'm subscribing for sure :)

[@OneShotAdventures]

Thanks! It’s not a bad place to live, that’s for sure. The Brewery is much bigger these days too!

[@GoTravelOnTheCheap]

April hadn't seen this one, so we watched it. When I went to London, I had so much fun in the local pubs, I would love to just do a drinking tour of the country! ;-) April took her kids to the Legoland in San Diego many years ago; they had a blast, but it is expensive

[@OneShotAdventures]

English pubs make me feel very patriotic haha! A drinking tour is definitely a good idea, there's so many breweries you can check out.

[@GoTravelOnTheCheap]

I can see that! :-) We should plan a collab and do the tour together!

[@OneShotAdventures]

Go Travel On The Cheap that would be ALOT of fun!

[@RetepElpmet]

Cool video! I grew up in Eton (although I now live in the US).

[@TouringTastebuds]

We have never been to Windsor but hope to go visit sometime next year! This year we have Iceland and a US road trip planned! Thanks for showing us your best things to do!

[@OneShotAdventures]

Touring Tastebuds love the sound of your plans - I love Iceland! Definitely let me know if you end up coming to Windsor, I can be your tour guide haha

[@TouringTastebuds]

Thank you! We cannot wait to see Iceland has been a dream trip for like 5 years! We definitely will let you know, and take you up on the tour guide! haha

[@OneShotAdventures]

Touring Tastebuds I look forward to it!

[@OneShotAdventures]

Touring Tastebuds I look forward to it!

[@TheStephensonGrechFamily]

thanks for sharing, have never been to Windsor castle, LEGOLAND is great but gets really busy.

[@OneShotAdventures]

It's true, Legoland gets insanely busy in the summertime... I used to dread those days when I worked there haha

[@TheStephensonGrechFamily]

my son has additional needs and just couldnt cope with how busy it was

[@OneShotAdventures]

Ah that's a shame... Hope you get to visit when it's quieter one day

[@parallaxmtb]

you have an amazing way to go about panning,, my nephew vistied LegoLand just recently,,, why won't they let you record inside?

[@OneShotAdventures]

Parallax MTB not sure actually, I could have got some sneaky shots, but wouldn't have been very cinematic haha

[@Hundt-no8zi]

There are chavs there? 🎉

[@andrewbarker4986]

Princess Christian nursing home was where it all started for me.

[@seanbond123]

Shot with a gimbal?

[@OneShotAdventures]

A mixture of gimbal and handheld stuff in this. I use the Zhiyun Crane v2, there's a link in the description if you need more info

[@PeterandYen]

Hey mate you have great content very informative but at the same time entertaining. Always wanted to visit the river and Lego land 👌 newly subbed. If you have a sec check out our food and travel channel too 😊
