Wouldn't it be fun to do a ghost tour in and around that great castle. Sinead I will bring the Scotch if you give that tour lol. Honestly my girl I could listen to you talk and point out interesting bits all day. You are a ⭐. I've got my kids and grandkids watching you now. Once again enjoyed ever minute of your tour. Always my best to you

Thank you Bre

Thank you for the video. Windsor Castle is so beautiful and so powerful.
My sister traced our lineage to England for a class project. She found out that I am the 23rd Great Granddaughter of His Majesty King Edward III, 3rd Cousin to King Henry Viii, and 18th cousin to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 2nd. We keep discovering so much information and people. It's very exciting.
I have a Question how or why did you not follow the no photography/video rule?
there is not over 1000 years of history and Princess Charlotte was the daughter of King George IV
Each time I see a photo of Windsor I remember a story about a comment heard by Prince Philip made by a visiting tourist. The woman wondered why they had built the castle so close to the airport, when you could hear several of the flights directly overhead. Apparently Prince Philip found it quite amusing, as he repeated the incident to others
He was a great character
Zero filter 🤣🤣
Sinéad
Tourists can be do stupid!
Hahaha! Silly women! 🤣🤣🤣
@@cpcolgate6903 Easy to see you never been a tourist, ha,ha,ha.
@@cpcolgate6903 “do stupid”?
I live 20 mins away. It’s always lovely to go round. Especially as a history nerd! Even walking by the river feeding ducks outside the castle grounds or going round the Windsor savill gardens on bikes its lovely and never gets old
How lucky you are Millie to live there and everyone I ever meet are so gracious and welcoming
Love Windsor
Sinéad
Thank you so much. Enjoyed the tour so much.So hope to visit one day.
Oh how wonderful to live amidst such beautiful landscapes with living history near you.
Oh Mummy and Daddy bought you a horse so you can ride around the Palace.
You can tell who are the foreign visitors. They are white.
The history alone makes Windsor Castle one of the most stunning places on earth ! Not to mention the beauty of the place😍🥰. Thank you for the Tour! 🙂
My pleasure Marnie
Truly is a very special place
Sinéad
I've just watched a tour of Westminster Abbey cant wait to see Windsor!
Just found this channel and this is incredible! I love this! How I long to go…..I must see all videos now! You are an excellent tour guide!
Thank you Ruthjo
Delighted you can join us
Sinéad
Thank you for a wonderful tour and just perfect for those of us who are missing the opportunity to travel. I have visited Windsor Castle twice, the first time was while the restoration was happening after the fire. At the time it was devastating to see the damage and many of the works of art in the surrounding rooms had been moved to safety. One of my lasting impressions was what on the walls behind where the paintings normally hung in the Waterloo Chamber. When the paintings were removed for safe keeping during WW2 the spaces were filled with colourful drawings, commissioned I believe by a young Elizabeth. When I returned almost 20 years later it was amazing to see the rooms restored to their former beauty but I couldn't help but remember what lay behind the art masterpieces. I loved your tour. It was amazing to see the castle minus the crowds so you could really appreciate its magnificence.
Glad that you enjoyed the video, Karyn! If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours czcams.com/users/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more where this came from.
@@FreeToursbyFootLondon I have watched several and I have also put my daughter onto your channel. She loves to watch your video while walking on her treadmill!!!
Thank you for this amazing tour, as living in the U.S., I have only seen Castles in paintings or history books ….but, seeing them up close is breathtaking ….the vastness of the Castle and grounds is beyond what I would have imagined …Thank you again, Great Tour ❤️
It’s funny what you are so used to. I lived and went to school in Windsor. It’s just there in the background. I now live in the Cotswolds. Another pretty place to visit.
I'm American but was fortunate to be an Army brat. I attended HS in Germany and thus has traveled extensively
@@shannonobrien9922 You we’re blessed to have that opportunity…So happy for you ❤️
another fantastic video sinead! You never cease to cheer me up, whilst i watch all of your fabulous videos! You're the absolute best vlogger on the whole of youtube!!!!xxxxxx
Sue you are a fabulous loyal supporter always a pleasure for you x
Sinéad
Incredible tour. Thank you. The Queen's properties are so beautiful.
balmoral and sandingham are the Queen's properties, the castle and the Palaces belong to the nation
I used to live in Windsor as a child as my father was stationed at Victoria Barracks. Fun to see how little it has changed.
Time truly does stand still there Caroleann
Thanks for watching
Sinead
Absolutely positively breathtaking I love Windsor, Come to think about I love all of the UK and thank you for sharing
Our pleasure as always Norma
You truly are an amazing loyal follower
Thank you
Sinead
thank you Sinead.
Windsor is amazing. I was blown away by all the Holbeins, just jaw dropping.
My dearest Sinead: I hope you realize how important your *service* is to those of us who can't possibly experience these amazing historical places in person. As a now 72-year-old "royalist/monarchist" since 2016, I've been obsessed with UK's history! A correspondent of mine asked, "Just a curious question - what turned you into such an enthusiastic royal Anglophile?" It all started when the *VICTORIA* TV series was released here in the US ... which sadly ended unfinished without explanation. Then came the controversial *THE CROWN* series.🤔 The two show's Facebook fan groups inspired more research. Everything I've discovered since has been overwhelmingly fascinating ... and now here's YOU! 🤩👏👏👏
One more thing: That tiny out-of-sight niche in St. George's Chapel where King George VI, Queen Mother Elizabeth & Princess Margaret are interred is pathetic! It's difficult for me to accept the idea of placing Prince Philip & Queen Elizabeth II there! 🤨
Thank you so much for the support!
As it was explained at the time of Prince Philip’s funeral service, this is only a temporary holding place for King George VI, the Queen Mother, Princess Margaret and Prince Philip. When Queen Elizabeth II passes, they will all of them be moved to a mausoleum on the grounds of Windsor Castle named in honor of the Queen’s father.
@@vernitasafford2379 Dear Vernita: Thank you. I don't recall the mentioning of an eventual standalone *mausoleum* for all 5 of them at the time of Prince Philip's funeral or that it would be dedicated to George VI. In my search for confirmation to your statement, the only thing that came close was/is:
*Q* "Will the Queen be buried in a mausoleum?"
*A* "Queen Victoria and her beloved Prince Albert are buried together in a mausoleum in the Windsor Castle gardens, so the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh may have opted for a similar arrangement. Apr 17, 2021."
I may not be alive to see the finale and must trust Charles to make it glorious ... hoping that he names it for his mother, UK'S longest reigning monarch and in 2 year's time, God willing, the WORLD'S longest!
I love this video more than the Hampton Court edition. I wish Sinead did the Hampton Court video because her communication and explanation skills are second to none.
Trust me my lovely we’re great friends ( best gin buddies ) and she was the right woman for the job , one of her many areas of expertise x
Love her Hampton Court
Thank you for your
as ever, loyal following x
@@leary210275 Hi Sinead, I jus felt like with the Hampton Court video, I didn't feel like "I was there with her", unlike the Windsor Castle video. I think it helps if you're doing the video live per say, rather than talking over the video afterwards, if that makes sense. You really feel like we're there with you when you do the video live (or talk live).
@@leary210275 Sinead, are you able to visit famous sporting arenas like Wimbledon or Lords or Wembley next??
@@lilpenny1982 I actually live right beside Wimbledon a tour will definitely be in the works lovely 👍
@@lilpenny1982 duly noted lovely we’ll keep that in mind 👍
Windsor Castle is beautiful Thank you Sinead for showing us round xx
I visited Windsor on my 2nd trip to London. We did book a bus tour and I loved our guide. He was a retired teacher and knew current world history as well. He was quite entertaining. This was in 2012, btw The funniest thing was that Windsor was our only stop and he promised us a leisurely tour. However, we arrived at the same time as several bus loads of French school girls and he wanted to beat them to the queue. We went literally running up the hill and we were on a dead run the rest of the time, haha. Would love to go back for that leisurely tour instead! Thanks for this one!
Sherrie I can totally relate
How many times I ran people up that hill to get in front of other groups 😂😂
Sinéad
I was amazed at the actual size of the castle because the views we see on the tv don't show how far this goes thank you Sinead for this very interesting tour it has made me want to actually go and looks around myself 👍
Glad that you enjoyed the video, Brenda! If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours czcams.com/users/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more where this came from.
What a beautiful tour! Windsor is such a gem of a town, and the castle itself incredible! No wonder HM The Queen prefers to call it home in her later years. Thank you Sinead x
My pleasure as always my lovely
Sinéad
Yeah, and it's such a beautiful yet saddening Irony that the Queen spent her childhood youth, to her Burial at Windsor.
Very engaging! I felt like I was there. Such a nice thing you do, especially for those of us who probably will never have the chance to visit the UK. it is the next best thing. I've seen many pictures of the area, but to have a walking tour while showing the smaller shops and areas that most people might not.....it's like walking through my own city. I can imagine myself there and it's very real. Thank you!
Glad that you enjoyed the video. It's our pleasure to bring a bit of London/England to you. If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours czcams.com/users/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more of Sinead where this came from.
Sinead, you are fabulous! You provide just the right amount of detail, explaining it in simple, non-academic terms, your pacing is perfect, and your lovely voice is a delight to the ear. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. 😘
Thanks again for watching, Deborah! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
What I appreciated about England as a child between 1953-1955, when my father was stationed there, was the history and the architecture. What I appreciate now is the people's appreciation of the nation's history and customs; no apologies or denial or attempts to hide the history.
History is kept alive here, for sure! Glad that you enjoyed the video, Candy. If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours czcams.com/users/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more where this came from.

I wish america would protect and preserve its historical architecture. But there is so very little preserved history in America . Europe has done a excellent of preserving their histories.
Incredible tour for the Windsor castle!!! How much things there I could see. The old structures, the gardens, the paintings, etc. Without words, Sinead each time surprise us with your tours. I will go watch again. 🤩👏👏👏
Delighted you enjoyed Benedito
Flattered your watching twice

Windsor Castel is on my bucket list, history at its best. Sinead, as you walk around it's amazing to see so much craftsmanship, to see all the work done over those many years is really a sight. Thank you for such an enjoyable tour through Windsor Castel, you have a way of making a good day even better. Have you ever got to meet with Queen Elizabeth?
Ah bless you Mike always so gracious thank you . It truly means the world
Never met The Queen , Mike , but have seen her on numerous occasions

I’m so glad you mentioned the doll house! I visited Windsor Castle in the summer of 1969 with a dear friend as we were making our way up to Scotland after studying in France. There is so much to see at Windsor, even if the royal family are in residence, which they were at the time. The only thing I can distinctly remember about it is the doll house and the room where it was kept. I’d love to see a video of it!
lovely to see you back with us Sinead x
Delighted to be back Susan

I've never been to Windsor so that was interesting, there is an excellent statue of Queen Victoria pointing out to sea at Southend on Sea seafront and I've seen some interesting statues on your tours but have you done a tour of all the best and most famous statues or memorials of London and the UK? Thanks Sinead 👍🇬🇧♥️
Now that is a spectacular idea Johnny
Now on the list

Amazing I wish I could take my elder mom and grandkids this is so educational to all children and myself I would fill my dream since a little girl over fifty years ago. If could ever afford family of six flat rental four adults two children under 12 . Adventurous to all ages. I will pray hard maybe a micracle . Just for giggles would you ever allow overnight visits to castle renting flat????? Educational and will create dreams for all children and adults....... Especially for myself .....twinkle twinkle little star my dream is to stay in residence of the Windsor for amazing educational historic articulate structures and guards a spectacular experience so much to teach and learn all and seeing the star on highway balcony.
Thank you Sinead.
A very interesting walk, always wanted to take a tour of the castle but time never allowed.
Delighted you enjoyed it Mike

So enjoy your tours thank you Sinead
And I look forward to your input and always kind words

Just came across your tours. We are Americans who have been to London and Oxford. I so enjoyed this tour. All television coverage of Windsor is close up shots, not allowing for the grandeur of the grounds of this magnificent castle. Thank you for your extensive walk. At my age, I’m not sure I could navigate all that you do, thank you from Arizona!
Mary thank you sincerely for the lovely comments

I visited Windsor in the late 1950's I just remember that I was really fascinated by this place. I was a very young American and enjoyed visiting many castles. This was one of my favorites but I just vaguely remember something about the looks of it, different than some of the other castles. Thanks for the tour. Might just keep this video for further reference.
Nit difficult to see why it’s one of The Queens favourites
Thrilled you enjoyed it Anita

I love those old buildings and cobble stone streets. Thank you for sharing this part of your world with the rest of us. I am very impressed with the cleanliness and lack of homeless unkempt people laying around on park benches...it is very unlike here in Canada.

@@FreeToursbyFootLondon Yes I am sure...but will definitely wait for this pandemic to disappear before returning to England! I have been to most of the touristy highlights, want to visit some out-of-the-way sort of places! May want to walk along Hadrian's Wall or visit the little town (if it exists) that was made famous by James Herriot.
This was sensational. There are only two places I've always wanted to visit and they are England and Scotland. Now I don't have to because you have shown me what I've always wanted to see. I often wondered what the grounds of Windsor Castle looked like and where the Queen stays while there. Thank you so, so much for the tour! I'll definitely be watching your other videos. I subscribed! 🙂

An amazing place right
Sinéad
Beautiful tour. The HD video is a treat to watch. I went to Windsor Castle 8 years ago and was able to climb the Round Tower but St George’s Chapel was closed, so I’ve never seen the Horseshoe Cloisters. I think you mixed up George IV and William IV a couple of times. You called Princess Charlotte the daughter of William IV, she was the daughter of George IV.
I certainly did say the wrong King apologies for the slip of the tongue
I’m planning to go back hopefully and schedule a tour of the Round Tower , how was it ?
Sinéad
@@leary210275 Hi Sinead. They made the point that the Round Tower is actually the “D shaped tower”. And that we shouldn’t take pictures of the Upper Ward because it’s the private residence of HM. The view is great of course and you feel like you’re retreating into a keep under siege because it seems like it’s as it’s always been. Also George IV built it up and added machicolations because it wasn’t “fantastic” enough for him.
Loved it than you and your lovely soothing voice.
Thank you sincerely Diane

It's not the monarch's property. It's mine. And every other UK citizens' as it is owned, like Buckingham Palace, by the state.
I loved the station, town, and castle when I was there. Such a lovely place to visit!
Glad we could take you back there virtually!

I am sure the queen will remain at Windsor for her life. She left London in 2020 and not been back.
The only reason she has not been back to Buckingham is because that Palace is undergoing a giant renovation and until it is complete, I believe in 2023, it is safer for her to remain elsewhere. HM is currently in residence at Sandringham until at least ascension day and is fully expected to return to London for her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
I never got further than London because it was a 3 day stopover from my Ireland tour and this makes me almost feel like I have been here! Thank you for the tour!
Our pleasure Chris hope you got to see Killarney ( my hometown ) on your travels

I am dying to go to Windsor (I live In Canada), would love to do a walking tour with you. I hope this lockdown ends soon and travel will be easier.
I believe you’ll make it happen Eileen

My home town Sinead. If I had known you were coming I would have bought you a coffee and shown you some more of this fascinating place. When our castle is as empty as on your visit, I love it!
May I suggest that you do Eton too?
Ahhh Isabella maybe if I come to Eton we can reschedule that coffee x

@@leary210275 absolutely!
Thank you for this tour. I went there on a bus tour a few years ago and we really didn't get to experience any of the town. You detailed many things that I didn't discover while I was there. I have heard that the Queen is now permanently residing at Windsor and doesn't plan to return to Buckingham. Amazing woman.
Our pleasure, Carol.
I have lived in Australia for 44years but I lived in Berkshire near Windsor before I emigrated. It was lovely to see dear old Windsor. I am so glad I found you on CZcams

Can you please tell me what time of year this was filmed? Absolutely beautiful, everything green and vibrant, but people are dressed for a Canadian winter! Lol, loved it, from Canada 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
Glad that you enjoyed the video, Barbara. It was filmed in mid-January.

A very good tour. How did you manage to film inside? Did you just grab some shots because there were no attendants? Btw, the surname of the artist Anthony van Dyck is pronounced dike.
You know I struggled with that pronunciation ,
All I kept thinking of was Dick Van Dyke and as that was spelt differently I assumed It was as I said
I’m so confused lol but thank you Stephen for clearing that up for me
Trust me I would have felt more comfortable with Dike 😊

Thank you Sinead, I'm going there in 2 days time so watched to prepare myself for what will be a wonderful if sad day remembering our sweet amazing Queen

Its just struck me ive never seen The Queen hanging her washing out - i guess she has maids to hang it out for her with solid gold pegs no doubt - maybe thats why its kept so secret in case people steal the gold pegs
She may be busy doing the dishes William lol
Thanks for watching

@@leary210275 Dont be recedulous
This looks like a full day trip. Is it?
If you arrive from London, yes. The castle is enormous, and there is so much to see on the tour inside. You will want to allow ample time for St. George's Chapel as well. It is incredibly beautiful and offers much to see and learn. The architecture alone is breathtaking. There is also a lovely gift shop where you can buy wonderful books. Honestly, I arrived via train early in the day and returned to London on the last run. The city of Windsor is charming and well worth walking around to eat and shop.
Truly it’s only a hop skip and a jump from London
However I agree with H London there’s so much to see make sure you have plenty of time
