Experience the beauty of the protected deer park
When Windsor Castle was being built 900 years ago, one of the priorities of King William I was to have access to a vast, private hunting park.
The substantial remnants of that park are still with us, in the form of Windsor Great Park. But today access is mainly open, thus giving us fabulous walking opportunities.
Most of the walking is gentle, on good paths and trails, with lakes, woodland, statues and views of Windsor Castle.
We could also visit one of the two formal gardens within the park.
