The village and civil parish of Old Windsor sits in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, on the south bank of the River Thames a couple of miles downstream from Windsor. It has ancient roots - recorded in Anglo‑Saxon sources as Windelsora - where a royal residence stood before the castle was built, and is backed by the broad tracts of Windsor Great Park with riverside meadows and conservation areas.
Today it combines a strong village feel with commuter links into London and an economy tied to tourism, local services and agriculture; you’ll find a village green, traditional pubs, sports clubs and the parish church of St Peter and St Andrew, alongside moorings and a lock on the river that draw visitors. Community events and close proximity to royal lands give the place a quietly historic, rural character despite being close to busy tourist hubs.
