The Brick and Tile Works, established by Charles Cooper in the early 1800s, employed about 150 people and produced bricks, tiles, gargoyles, and pinnacles. The site, which closed in 1967, is now owned by the National Trust and features lowland ponds with diverse aquatic life and a variety of woodland birds and plants.

Pinkneys Green, originally part of the Royal Manor of Cookham, was sold off in 1818. In the 1920s, the Maidenhead and Cookham Commons Conservation Committee protected the land, which was later donated to the National Trust. Today, Pinkneys Green is mostly grassland managed by local farmers with areas of trees and thicket for wildlife, and its open meadows are filled with wildflowers during the summer.

Awesome park with great views from Windsor Castle all along the statue

Not accessible any more with a bike, even pushing one. This also denies access for anyone with a disability using a hand cycle or those who find it easier to pedal than walk, families walking with kids on a bike. Wheelchairs etc if there's no one at the gate to let them in as the pedestrian access is designed to block all but the abled. Crown Estate / Windsor Great Park have banned bikes from many areas, especially this one. While the Long Ride was always forbidden it was great to get a good view of the castle from the Copper Horse. If you're on a horse though, no problem. No mention of scooters banned either. 🤔

Greate place for long hike.

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.

Burnham Beeches is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, National Nature Reserve, and Special Area of Conservation thanks to its ancient beech woodland and rich wildlife. More than sixty species of plants and animals that call the 927-acre (375 ha) site home are rare or under threat. The historic woodland is also home to relics of times gone by. Located in the southwest of the woodland, you can visit Seven Ways Plain hill fort which dates to the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age. Neighbouring film studios have used the Beeches as a shooting location in various productions such as Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Goldfinger, and Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.
