William the Conqueror picked the site for Windsor Castle. It has been a royal residence and fortress nearly 950 years and during that time, it certainly has spread. The house covers 13 acres, making it the biggest inhabited castle in the world. It's also one of the most familiar. Fly into London via Heathrow and it will be one of the first recognizably British things you'll see.

Fans of equestrian events regularly enjoy the festive Royal Windsor Horse Show, open to the public in May.

Of course, it's not the only castle in the UK. They're all over the place; visitors are spoiled for choice. Here are some others you might want to visit:
