The most well-known image of Windsor Great Park is arguably the iconic view down the Long Walk, towards Windsor Castle at the far end. This tree-lined avenue stretches down towards the ancient fortress, illustrating the regal grandeur and Royal heritage of Windsor Great Park. Red Deer are easily spotted, with a population of around 500 that roam freely around the Deer Park enclosure. Established by our Park Ranger H.R.H. The Duke of Edinburgh, the current herd are all descendants of 40 hinds and two stags that were introduced in 1979. The deer are accustomed to seeing visitors walking around, and will remain fairly close, often posing nicely for photographs!

Situated on the banks of the River Thames and close to the Runnymede memorials, this park is a popular all-year round place to visit. It has plenty of modern play equipment, a paddling pool, children’s rides and amusements (summer months) and adjacent cafe. It’s great for picnics or the starting point for walks along the Thames Path National Trail or to the Magna Carta, John F Kennedy, or Air Forces memorials. Make a day of it and join a French Brothers Cruise from the Runnymede Pleasure Grounds. Embark on 'Lucy Fisher', a replica of a Victorian paddle steamer and cruise upstream to the Bells of Ouzeley, which is featured in Jerome K. Jerome's "Three Men in a Boat".

It's a little out of the way but well worth the journey, open all year round with an ancient 2,500 year old yew tree and the remains of a Benedictine priory to discover. With a wonderful array of wildlife and a wide variety of trees, Ankerwycke is the perfect spot for a peaceful walk. The National Trust's oldest tree, this iconic 2,500 year old yew is steeped in history. According to popular belief, it was beneath this tree that King Henry VIII courted Anne Boleyn, and some reports suggest that he even proposed in its shadow. While Magna Carta is said to have been sealed at Runnymede, there are those who argue that the event actually took place on the other side of the river, perhaps under this very yew.
