Windsor

On a stop-over in London, we took a few hours to pop into Windsor and check out the palace. It's actually a castle rather than a palace, and still looks the part:

It lies under the Heathrow flight path, so once every few minutes the Queen's apartments get buzzed by incoming airplanes. Not that different from the rest of West London inhabitants, really.

The oldest and innermost part of the Windsor palace: the castle itself. It dates from 11th century, just a little older than the White Castle of the Tower of London:
