The castle stands on the site of a Roman fort, which was destroyed by King Henry I.

The town is near the southern edge of the county, on the River Thames. Windsor was founded in 912 AD by Edward the Elder as part of a royal estate. It grew as a commercial centre during the late 11th and early 12th centuries when it became one of Britain's first walled towns.

Hampton Court is an 11th-century moated manor house and one of the most famous Elizabethan houses in the world. From Tudor times until now, Hampton Court has had a fascinating history with many famous residents.

The Tudor period was particularly rich with the patronage of kings and queens. There are many royal visits to Hampton Court, including to mark Elizabeth’s official coronation and Henry VIII’s death in 1547.

The moated manor house is a series of courtyards, cloisters, and gardens surrounding a tree-covered courtyard. The house was originally built in the 13th century, with later additions and alterations by successive owners. The Tudor mansion was restored after a fire in 1997-98.
