Windsor Castle
23 Answers
We went there today and visited the castle and St. George's Chapel. Bit pricey but well worth a visit. Anyone else been lately? What castles, palaces etc., do you like to visit?
Nearly came to blows with little Tigs who was moaning quite loudly that he was bored. Can't seem to take him anywhere these days without him whining. He just wanted to go on the train journeys there and back as he's obsessed with trains.

If little tigs is obsessed with trains (as I am), take him to a heritage railway. That way the train is the destination (and much more interesting than modern stuff). Most of them are closed for the winter now but many run Christmas Specials. Tell me which areas you can easily get to and I'll recommend one or two, if not for Christmas then next Spring.

Then the Bluebell Railway is for you and little tigs, tigger: It is a superb operation (I would say that because Mrs NJ and I are Life Members). It is one of the country's premier heritage railways. You can get to it by train - its station at East Grinstead is next to the National Rail station. If little tigs is mad about trains I'm sure he'll love it:

If you want to head west there is the Watercress Line:

It runs from Alton to Alresford in Hampshire. Again, you can get there by train, about 40 mins from Woking. The Watercress line shares Alton Station with National Rail.
If you fancy a miniature railway, the Great Cockrow railway near Chertsey is excellent:

You really need a car to get there but it's a really good day out. It is a one-eighth scale (7.25 inch gauge) railway where you can get really close to the trains.
Happy Chuffing!
