BerkshireOld Windsor

The small village of Old Windsor lies two miles south of the town of Windsor, which it predates by 300 years. 

The most ancient Saxon village in Berkshire, Old Windsor was the seat of Saxon kings including Edward the Confessor. 

The settlement began to loose its importance after the Norman Conquest when William the Conqueror built a fortress upstream at 'New Windsor'. In 1110 the royal court moved from Old Windsor to Windsor Castle. 

Most of Windsor Great Park comes in the boundaries of the parish, including both the Royal and Cumberland Lodges.  The parts of the Great Park open to the public provide beautiful walks to enjoy whilst you are visiting. 

The eastern edge of the village straddles the Thames and there are attractive rural walks along the towpath.  There are also lots of facilities for boating and fishing. 

Old Windsor is home to several famous people including Sir Elton John, who lives on the outskirts of the village near Windsor Great Park.
