Located in Berkshire, England, Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. Since its construction by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, it has spanned over 900 years of history and served as the home to 40 monarchs. To this day, it remains one of the principal official residences of the British Sovereign.

The moment I stepped into Windsor, it felt as if I had turned the dial of time. Perched upon the high ground, Windsor Castle tells a story of over 900 years through its grey stone walls. As the world's oldest and largest inhabited castle, it is not only an architectural masterpiece but also a symbol of British royal power. Strolling along the magnificent Long Walk, one can see ancient trees lining the avenue, guarding this path into royal history.

However, the charm of Windsor extends beyond its towering walls. Stepping out of the fortress, one falls into the bustle and vitality of Peascod Street. This cobbled pedestrian street is the heartbeat of Windsor town. Here, ancient timber-framed buildings stand alongside modern brands like Barbour, with the air filled with the aroma of freshly baked pastries and the melodies of street performers. Tourists, clutching delicate souvenirs, wander leisurely at the intersection of history and reality.

The most captivating aspect of Windsor is this perfect blend of "royal elegance" and "urban vibrancy." It possesses both the solemnity of St. George’s Chapel and the lively atmosphere of the shopping streets. This town proves that history need not only exist in museums; it can coexist harmoniously with modern life, becoming a warm memory in the heart of every traveler.
