Windsor (usually pronunced 'winzer', but the d may be included) is a small town in Berkshire on the south-western outskirts of London. It is the
location of Windsor Castle, one of the official residences of the
British royal family. The castle was originally established
by King William I of England but has been substantially
altered and added to over the centuries.
As a result of the royal residence Windsor has facilities usually found in larger towns: two railway stations, a theatre and
several substantial hotels. The town is also the location of Legoland, built on the site of a safari park. On construction, several tons of hippo dung had to be
removed from the enclosure used by the animals.
The town is administered by the Windsor and
Maidenhead unitary authority.
