Walton Bridge

Highlight • Cycleway

Bridge is nice, from side of the river, nothing special to be on the bridge as it’s narrow but check out coffee shop next to it and the cycle path

St Mary's Church, White Waltham

Highlight • Historical Site

The history of the building has been largely obscured by the drastic restoration undertaken in 1868, when practically the whole of the church west of the chancel was rebuilt, but that there was a church here in the 12th century is shown by the Norman arch still standing on the south side of the tower, and the reset capitals to the shafts of the south doorway, which are also of this date. The present chancel was built early in the 13th century, but the south transept does not appear to have been added until somewhat later, though its south wall was rebuilt about 1320, when the archway opening from the north end of the west wall into the south aisle was inserted. The north transept was added in 1889.

Windsor Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world - it's home to The King and over 900 years of royal history.
Founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, it has since been the home of 39 monarchs.

The Castle itself is at the top of a steep hill, but it's visible from the road so you can get a sneaky peak as you roll past on the bike!

Magna Carta Memorial, Runnymede

Highlight • Monument

Runnymede is noted for being the site of the sealing of one of the most famous documents in history. There is a memorial just across the field to this event back on the 15th June 1215, when King John, confronted by 40 rebellious barons, appended his seal to this famous parchment. You can wheel your bike across the field to have a look if need be. If not, there are other memorials to liberty dotted hereabouts too, most notably to JFK, and the allied air forces of the second world war.
