Start: 2024-12-15T10:30:00Z
End: 2024-12-15T15:00:00Z

Christmas is coming and it's time to wrap up the season with a brisk hike around Windsor Park. Along the way we will stop for hot mulled wine and mince pies.

The whole walk is within th4800 acres of the Great Park itself.
A circular route through Windsor Great Park along Dukes Ride, starting at Ascot Gate and along Dukes Ride to visit the Jubilee statue (Queen Elizabeth II equestrian statue), on to the Royal Kennels before looping around to Snow Hill and the Copper Horse statue of George IV with stunning views over Windsor Castle, Eton and as far as the City and Chilterns. We will eat our packed lunch and enjoy a cup of hot mulled wine then head out of the deer park toward the Royal Lodge and over to Cow Pond before heading into Saville Gardens. The route continues through the Valley Gardens and on to the 5 arched bridge and through the Millhill Plantation back to Ascot Gate. Mostly on tarmac paths, tracks and a bridleway. No stiles.

Bring a drink and snack. There are toilets in the Savill Building. Why not bring a friend along?

Meeting point details:

This hike requires driving to the start. We will meet at Ascot Gate, Windsor Park. You can park on Watersplash lane which is directly opposite Ascot Gate just off the Sunningdale Road. Postcode SL5 7QP.

As there are no shops within the park, I would recommend bringing a packed lunch with you and enjoying the views from on top of Snow Hill.
