Experience special guided walking tours around Eton and Windsor with Anne Bartlett, Blue Badge Tour Guide

Eton, Berkshire:  Just across the River Thames from the town of Windsor is the historic High Street of Eton, both places are connected by a footbridge, so they are within easy walking distance of each other and both are well worth exploring.  Eton dates back to Saxon times and the 7th century name means "a settlement on an island," is home to the most famous school in the world. Eton College was founded in 1440 and has educated 18 former English Prime Ministers including Walpole, Pitt, Gray and Wellington.  Other famous people include Shelley, Sir John Herschel and Sir Joseph Banks. Recently the Princes William and Harry, sons of The Prince of Wales and grandsons of The Queen, were at school there from the age of 13 until they were 18 years old. 

Let me guide you around this interesting old town and show you the school that has educated so many famous people.
