the noblest walk in Europe- Joseph Pote, 18th-century writer

The North Terrace at Windsor Castle in Windsor, England, is an elevated promenade laid out under King Charles II along the northern face of the Upper Ward. Running between the Middle Ward, the Norman Gatehouse, and the approaches to the State Apartments, it offers broad views across the Thames Valley, Eton and Windsor Great Park. The terrace forms part of the modern visitor route, providing exterior vantage points on the Round Tower, Brunswick Tower, and King George IV Tower. Its long history and commanding outlook have made it a defining feature of the castle's landscape, celebrated in artworks such as Paul Sandby's 18th-century views. - AsNotedIn
