Windsor Great Park
Windsor Great Park Review
The remains of an ancient royal hunting forest, this park stretches for some 5,000 acres south of Windsor Castle. Much of it is open to the public and can be seen by car or on foot, including its geographical focal points, the romantic 3-mi Long Walk, designed by Charles II to join castle and park, and Virginia Water, a 2-mi-long lake. A spectacular visitor center offers a good introduction to the surrounding landscape. The park contains one of Queen Victoria's most treasured residences, the sprawling white mansion called Frogmore House. It's only open for a few days in May and August.
The main horticultural delight of Windsor Great Park, the exquisite Savill Garden, is about 4 mi from Windsor Castle. It contains a lovely rose garden and a tremendous diversity of trees and shrubs.
