Windsor Castle Curtain Wall
The curtain wall of Windsor Castle spreads along the eastern perimeter, a high stone parapet built to defend the inner precincts while allowing sweeping views over the Home Park. Evening light gilds the weathered battlements in amber, warming the ancient stone and throwing long shadows across the cobbled parade ground below. A gentle breeze carries the scent of clipped box hedges and damp earth from the castle’s moat, joining the low murmur of tourists moving in guided clusters around the tour route. The wall’s crenellations cast jagged silhouettes against the sky, creating natural barriers for concealment as the Doctor and Ace step from the TARDIS and immediately size up their surroundings.
