It is bordered by [[Savoy, Massachusetts|Savoy]] to the north, [[Plainfield, Massachusetts|Plainfield]] to the northeast and east, [[Cummington, Massachusetts|Cummington]] to the southeast, [[Peru, Massachusetts|Peru]] and [[Hinsdale, Massachusetts|Hinsdale]] to the south, [[Dalton, Massachusetts|Dalton]] to the southwest, and [[Cheshire, Massachusetts|Cheshire]] to the northwest. Windsor is {{convert|12|mi}} northeast of [[Pittsfield, Massachusetts|Pittsfield]], {{convert|45|mi}} northwest of [[Springfield, Massachusetts|Springfield]], and {{convert|120|mi}} west-northwest of [[Boston]]. Windsor is located on a plateau in the [[Berkshire Hills]], and lies near the source of the [[Westfield River]]. The river runs southward through the northeastern part of town, flowing through [[Windsor State Forest]]. One of the river's feeder brooks flows through the Windsor Jambs, a series of rocky waterfalls. The town is dotted with wildlife management areas, including all of Eugene Moran Wildlife Management Area, as well as portions of the Chalet, Peru and Savoy Wildlife Management Areas. Windsor is located at the junction of [[Massachusetts Route 9]] and [[Massachusetts Route 8A|Route 8A]], with the two running concurrently west from the junction. Near the northeast corner of town, Route 8A grazes the border (at which point it is combined with [[Massachusetts Route 116|Route 116]]), with a small neighborhood lying around Windsor Pond. The town has no bus or rail service, with the nearest access to both being in Pittsfield. The [[Pittsfield Municipal Airport (Massachusetts)|Pittsfield Municipal Airport]] is the nearest regional airport, and the town is located roughly equidistantly between [[Albany International Airport]] and [[Bradley International Airport]], the two nearest airports with national service.
