Back in 2014, Victoria and I stayed in Windsor for a few days after the Duke of Wellington Tour had ended. One of the things we did was to take a leisurely stroll across the River and walk the length of Eton’s perfectly preserved, and rather deserted, High Street!
Through the gate, a statue of College founder, King Henry VI (1421-1471)
Along the way, we stopped at my favourite fudge shop and at a truly quirky print and booksellers before we stopped for dinner at a riverside restaurant. If you’d like to join me on my next Eton walk, consider coming along on Number One London’s Town & Country House tour in May, 2024. Complete itinerary and details can be found here.
