Why is Windsor a tourist honeypot?

The River Thames runs close to the centre of Windsor

Windsor is the second most popular tourist destination in the UK, attracting around 880,000 visitors per year. The total tourist expenditure per year is over £380 million, so tourism is big business within Windsor. But why is this?

The first reason for Windsor’s popularity is the number of tourist attractions. The main attraction is Windsor Castle, one of the official residences of the queen and the largest inhabited castle in the world. This grand estate is spread over 5 hectares and includes splendid state apartments containing treasures from the royal collection.
