Windsor Great Park



The Great Park, part of a vast Norman hunting chase, is set in 2,020 hectares (5,000 acres) of the Surrey and Berkshire countryside stretching from Windsor Castle to the north and Ascot to the south. With its varied landscape and sweeping deer lawns, woods, coverts and huge solitary ancient oaks, the park abounds in wildlife. The pastoral landscape offers over 2 million visitors a year peaceful respite and the opportunity to witness a rich and unique heritage a thousand years in the making.
