where is windsor castle located on the map
Windsor Castle The Home Park adjoins the northern edge of the more extensive Windsor Great Park, occupying some 5,000 acres (2,020Â ha)[71] and including some of the oldest broadleaved woodlands in Europe.[72] In the Home Park, to the north of the castle, stands a private school, St George's, which provides choristers to the chapel. Eton College is located within about half a mile of the castle, across the River Thames.
House of Windsor The name was changed from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the English Windsor in 1917 because of anti-German sentiment in the British Empire during World War I.[1] During the reign of the Windsors, major changes took place in British society. The British Empire participated in the First and Second World Wars, ending up on the winning side both times, but subsequently lost its status as a superpower during decolonisation. Much of Ireland broke with the United Kingdom and the remnants of the Empire became the Commonwealth of Nations.
