On the other side of the Thames, joined to Windsor by a footbridge, is Eton, a village with a single high street of old shops that ends at Eton College, the boarding school that produced many prime ministers. From the street you can see the Gothic chapel and the brick courtyards, and with luck, pupils in their tailcoats.
Crossing the bridge, walking up Eton High Street to the college and back is a flat one-hour stroll. From the bridge you get one of the best views of the castle over the river. Visits to the inside of the college have their own days and booking.
