Perched upon Snow Hill at the southern end of the Long Walk from Windsor Castle, sits The Copper Horse. This impressive statue shows King George III atop his stead and was created in 1831.

The statue was inspired by a similar creation of Marcus Aurelius and features George pointing to the castle in the distance. Snow Hill offers fantastic views along the Long Walk avenue and is a waypoint on the Three Castles Path long-distance walking trail.
