We were then able to view the Mausoleum where Victoria and Albert are buried and the second one where her mother the Duchess of Kent is buried and to admire the beautiful grounds.

After our visit here we then went onto Savill Garden where we were able to enjoy the gardens and have lunch. This was a very successful day in Windsor Great Park.
