Eton College harbours a long, grand history as England's pre-eminent institution for the education of future princes and prime ministers. The college dates back to its founding by King Henry VI and originally had not but a mite more than 70 students, or "collegers" as they were then called. Presently upwards of 1300 strapping young lads (sorry, no lasses permitted) aged 13-18 board at Eton. Visitors can view the schoolyard, the college chapel, and can visit the Museum of Eton Life to learn about, well, daily Eaton life. Admission: Adult GBP5, Child GBP4.20.
