England's Oldest Castle

Keep a look-out for the Royals — a few years ago, one of our cousins from NY visiting the castle for the first time, caught a glimpse of the Queen as she was leaving the castle.

Eton College — one of the most exclusive schools in the world
Founded in 1440 by King Henry VI — Eton is one of the oldest schools in the country. It's also one of the most famous — Prince William graduated there. Eton has also educated 18 former British Prime Ministers.

You'll be sure to recognize the students if you see them — their attire dates back to the 1850s — black tails, vest, and pin-striped pants.
