Windsor Great Park Walking Tours

Discover Windsor's 5,000 acre royal park

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.

Learn about the story of Windsor Great Park whilst walking there

From one of the Windsor and Eton stations, or from one of the peripheral car parks, we can take a walk along The Long Walk, or past Virginia Water, and out into Windsor Great Park.

90 minutes to two hours will get us to the deer park and at least one of the equestrian statues.

A half day walk allows a thorough exploration of many of the park’s features.

A full day will either give us much longer in the park, or allow us a more gentle walk combined with a visit to the ornamental Savill Garden (admission charge) or the wooded Valley Gardens (no admission charge).
