Windsor Castle

This weekend, I went on a bus tour to Windsor Castle, Bath, Lackock, and Stonehenge. It was so much fun, even though it was pouring rain the entire day and I got soaked. The first place on the tour was Windsor Castle, which had beautiful architecture.

The castle is so gorgeous, as all the castles I have visited in the UK are, and the stonework is very detailed. I really like how the window designs are carried throughout the entire castle to make it look uniform. Also, the windows are different shapes and sizes, depending on how high up in the castle they are. The windows that are higher on the castle wall are smaller, which makes sense as this used to be a defensive structure. The shapes of the windows also compliment each other very well, without being exactly the same. All of the windows and entryways have rounded tops, which make them all match one another very well, while still allowing them to have different designs. Also, the lighter bricks contrast with the darker bricks to make the doorways, edges, and windows stand out more. Additionally, the rectangular cut-outs at the top of the castle walls give this castle the classic castle look.

I really enjoyed my trip to Windsor Castle, I hope to go back and spend more time there someday.
