Things to Do in Slough
Slough's best days out are on its doorstep: a royal castle, ancient woodland and long riverside walks. Here is where to start.
Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle, a short drive or train ride south, is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. Allow most of a morning, and check the opening days, which change when the royal family is in residence.

Eton
Across the bridge from Windsor, Eton's High Street leads to Eton College. It is a quieter, slower walk than Windsor's centre.
