Is Windsor Castle worth seeing if the chapel is closed?

The chapel was closed when I visited and I really enjoyed the visit. I would go.

Yes, you should definitely go anyway. If your daughter's so enthusiastic, she'll likely get a lot of out the trip, even with the chapel being closed. The state apartments are really interesting and Queen Mary's dolls' house is intricate and fascinating, even if toys and dollhouses aren't your thing.

Totally agree that you should go. Was not super impressed with the Chapel but it could be that we had seen so many churches, cathedrals by that time we were getting overloaded. However, the dollhouse alone was the highlight of the visit. Even my twenty something son was impressed.

I've been to Windsor Castle several times and the chapel has NEVER been open. Yes, it's worth visiting (of course).

Both were open when I was there. I would still think it worthwhile to go if only the state apts were open.

Windsor Castle as a castle certainly has a wow factor and it is worth Visiting without St.George Chapel. If your daughter is interested in visiting Windsor castle you better prefer it rather than visiting Hampton Court.For more info about Winsdor Castle visit

Yes, it's worth. I would go, it's a 35 minute train ride from Paddington Station. As you exit the train turn to your left and walk up to the road, and you will see the castle across the street. You can also walk down to Windsor Great Park, as you face the castle turn to your right, follow the road to the park (5 minute walk) you get a great view of the Royal residence from the gates in the park. On the 13th is the Order of Garter Service, my daughter (16 at the time) and I went to this years ago, it was truly fantastic. We got in the queue about 2 hours early. When we were admitted into the castle we got spots in the grass across from St. George's Chapel, when the procession came down from the castle to the chapel we were an arms length from them,
perfect to see all the Royals. Prime Minister and others. I think your daughter would love it, but you would need to get tickets, which are free.

Thanks for all the replies - I had the same question. I am due to go with a group of young people to London (and Windsor); but for various reasons, the date had to be changed to the morning of June 11, even knowing the chapel would be closed. We ARE going but this makes me feel much better. :)
