About

Blue Badge Guide Amanda Bryett will lead a stroll around Windsor and Eton. Hear the amazing story of the 1908 Olympic marathon, how the authorities kept changing the arrangements for the start and how the whole thing was thrown into chaos when a royal turned up!

See the only 1908 marathon route marker on Eton High Street. Also a visit to the Long Walk to see where the 1948 Olympic road cycle race took place. Vintage photographs will be shown along the way.

To join the tour visitors must be able to navigate cobbled streets, gentle inclines and have the stamina for and hour and a half walk.
