Parks & Nature
A world class park in the extensive grounds of Windsor Castle. There are a huge variety of options within Windsor Great Park including walks through free roaming deer along the 'Long Walk', to a lakeside loop of Virginia Water. There is plenty to do and see and I very strongly recommend a visit for nature/walking enthusiasts.

Sightseeing
Not a lot needs to be said of the world famous Windsor Castle, one of the homes of the British Royal Family. The castle itself can be visited for a fee and comes highly recommended for any history enthusiasts, but the castle is located in the centre of the town so much of it can be viewed for free for a short walk around Windsor.

A world famous boarding school for boys located in Eton, a short drive from Appletree Cottage. Attended by many people of historical notoriety. The school is active so tours are restricted but possible to be arranged. There is a fully pedestrianised area surrounding the College however so everyone can take a look at some of the historic buildings and walls for free.

Drinks & Nightlife
Windsor town centre offers an excellent range of restaurants, bars, pubs, breweries and nightclubs. I am more than happy to recommend individual places but equally worth an explore! A taxi ride to Eton Bridge and short (~5 minute) walk into town saves the long drive round for the money conscious.
