Today you can read the next instalment in my series of posts about our visit to Windsor back in February .
It was Wednesday and we had lots more blue sky and sunshine, so we headed back out and down the High Street ... passing Queen Victoria and the castle ...
... and back to the footbridge across the river ...

... as we made our way to Baldwin’s Bridge ...
We stopped to have a good look at 'The Burning Bush' ...
... before heading out along the main road ...
... which gave for a pretty decent view ...
We were in search of the Anthony Gormley sculpture, which we missed on first passing, having not been looking in the right direction at all. When we finally spotted it we were pretty impressed ...
Back onto the High Street we headed down Kate’s Lane ...
... ending up at the Jamar Gallery ... which, whilst beautiful, was slightly at odds with the other buildings that we’d been passing ...
... before passing The Eton Mess ...
... and heading back to The Cote Brasserie for a very nice, and reasonably priced, lunch, with a fabulous view.
We'd both loved exploring Eton, with all its history and tradition. It was lovely seeing 'the boys' just wandering around the college area in their smart tailcoats. It is most definitely worth a visit and The Eton Walkway booklet can be picked up at the tourist information centre, for free, in the centre of Windsor. As well as giving the route to follow it is full of interesting anecdotes and bits of history ... it certainly helps make sure you don't miss anything 😀
