Sightseeing
Windsor Castle itself is just over 2 miles away and the majority of the route from Benet House includes an off road cycle path alongside Albert Road (A308). It offers a huge amount of history and spectacular views both of the castle and from the castle. It is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. It has been the family home of British kings and queens for almost 1,000 years, and is currently the main home of the Queen and Prince Philip, and within the grounds The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
