A royal residence, Windsor Castle is a world famous, iconic building. Whilst the castle itself is extraordinary and well worth visiting, the view from the back gates is truly phenomenal. Windsor Great Park begins here and encompasses 4,992 acres (2,020 ha) of exquisite grounds.

From the castle's back gates, the Long Walk begins, stretching south into the Great Park. Gazing down its 3-mile span (4.8 km) is quite an experience.

This is the back gates of Windsor castle. It's a lovely place for picnic and great views of Long Walk.

From here, you can easily go to the town centre visit inside of Windsor castle which cost £16.

Lovely trees and fresh air.
