LinkedinWindsor Castle voted one of the nation’s favourite landmarks
If you’re still in need of things to do in the summer holidays then how about a visit to Windsor Castle?
The oldest and largest occupied castle in the world has just been named as one of the nation’s favourite landmarks.

Founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, Windsor Castle has been the home of 39 monarchs.
