Windsor is a suburban town in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in Berkshire, England. It is best known as the site of Windsor Castle.
The town is situated 21 miles (34 km) west of London, 20 miles east of Reading. It is immediately south of the River Thames, which forms its boundary with Eton. Windsor and the surrounding areas contain some of the most expensive and desirable housing in the UK.
Windsor is a popular tourist destination and location of Windsor Castle, one of the official residences of the British Royal Family.
The town is also the location of LEGOland, two railway stations, a race course, River boat and a theatre.
The Windsor wheel is a more recent addition to the town's tourist attractions, and provides an overhead view of the surrounding area, including the castle, Eton and the Thames Valley. Located in Alexandra Gardens near the River Thames, it is assembled in the summer and dismantled in the autumn.
