St George’s Chapel
One of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England, St George’s Chapel is famed for its fan vaulting, intricate stonework, and stained glass. The site is a frequent venue for royal weddings and burials, offering both grand architecture and poignant storytelling for photographers. Its interior is dark and moody, making it ideal for dramatic compositions.
Windsor Castle ‘Watching Point’
A specific viewpoint on the southern edge of Windsor Castle grounds, offering panoramic views of the castle’s ramparts, towers, and surrounding parkland. The spot is less frequented but highly photogenic for dramatic castle vistas.
Windsor Bridge and River Thames Walk

Eton College Chapel
A striking example of late Gothic architecture, Eton College Chapel features fan vaulting, stained glass, and a peaceful inner courtyard. The site is across the river from Windsor and offers a quieter, equally majestic alternative to royal sites.
