    Hiking

    Virginia Water is a beautiful, artificial lake in the southern end of Windsor Great Park. A loop of the lake is a lovely way to spend a few hours and there are a few interesting landmarks to discover.

    Chief among them are the ruins of Leptis Magna, once a vibrant city in modern day Libya. The ruins were gifted to George IV in 1816 and reconstructed on this site. Another regal gift is the Totem Pole, which was given to Queen Elizabeth II by Canada in 1958.

    Hiking

    The Valley Gardens.
    Created by the shared vision of Sir Eric Savill and Hope Finlay, these 250 acres of undulating valleys were planted with exotic azaleas, magnolias and other blooms from all over the world. Our visitors love to wander through the remarkable maze of twisting woodland tracks and exotic scented blooms.

    Every season offers collections that will surprise and delight even the most seasoned of horticulturists all year round, including National Collections of Magnolia, Rhododendron Species and Glenn Dale Azaleas, as well as Himalayan and Chinese Birches.
