A large deer park of 5,000 acres, Windsor Great Park is located to the south of the town of Windsor. For centuries the park was the private hunting ground of Windsor Castle and today it is largely open to the public.
Take a wander along the famous Long Walk, the end of which is marked by the impressive Copper Horse statue which depicts King George III.
In the south-east of the park are the popular Savill Gardens and Valley Gardens, designed and built by Eric Savill in the 1930s and 40s. They include an extraordinary range of flowers and trees from around the world.
Finally, be sure to see Virginia Water Lake, which is set in the south of the park. This artificially created lake covers roughly a square kilometre and dates back to the 1740’s. Among the lakeside features are a hundred foot high Canadian totem pole, commemorating the centenary of British Columbia, and a collection of ornamental Roman ruins, transported from the site of Leptis Magna in Libya.
