The information panel belonging to this simple, but certainly dignified, memorial for human rights has been created as a standalone highlight in the komoot system. If you are interested, see =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/1132793

The Sandpit on Horsell Common is arguably the Common’s most popular and interesting feature. This tranquil beauty-spot is a particular favourite with children, dog walkers and photographers. Historically the Sandpit was excavated for many years for sand and gravel to supply building materials. However, the site is best known as being the location where the Martians first landed in the famous 1897 science fiction novel “The War of the Worlds” by H. G. Wells. When he wrote this work Wells was living in Woking just a mile and a half away so this proximity doubtless influenced his choice of the Sandpit for the first Martian landing.

While walking along the path around the lake, you can observe a wide variety of birds, including swans and ducks, among others. This lake is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is home to several rare plants due to its low pH levels. In fact, it's the only acid lake in the county. Depending on the weather, it can become muddy.

This lake is the only acid lake in Berkshire. Due to its naturally high pH level, it harbors some very uncommon plants, such as the water milfoil or the six-stemmed water crowfoot. This has earned it the designation of SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest). Next to the reserve where this lake is located, there is a small, free parking area. Several trails and routes, like the Ramblers Route, pass by the lake.

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.
