A village like atmosphere and an archaic beauty that is such a rare pleasure these days give Windsor its magical charm. Situated on the western outskirts of London, the quiet style of local living is combined with an international buzz from the influx of tourists which arrive every day. And there are no prizes for guessing what might be the main fascination. Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world and an official residence of the Queen is a breathtaking landmark. For something a little more outgoing, then head to Legoland, voted 2007s best family visitor attraction. With the areas focus lying almost entirely on daytime attractions, its little surprise that the nightlife is far from sparkling however there is an extensive selection of restaurants, offering between them 16 different types of cuisine from around the world. Far way enough from London to offer something different but not too far as to be isolated, Windsor proves an excellent balance.
