In Windsor old town, on Church Street there a plaque recording the execution warrant for Charles I in 1648. The building is said to be the place where Shakespeare wrote "The Merry Wives of Windsor".
Also their is the house of Nell Gwynne, favourite mistress of Charles II.
Next to the Crooked House Tea Rooms, you will find Queen Charlotte Street, the shortest street in Britain.

“ Great day out, lovely weather and very interesting, definately go again. Thanks Robert for organising it so well. ” -
“ It was really nice to meet some new people, and the group was friendly and welcoming. I found the trip itself though a little unstructured, and went off with another person to do the tour of Windsor Castle, which turned out to be perfect because it wasn't crowded and we got in for half-price. Also it may have been an idea to brief the whole group on what was going on, as that didn't get through to everyone. Other than that, it was good, thanks, and a good choice of venue and day trip. The research for the trains and meeting place was spot-on. ” -
