Overview

Come for a leisurely walk through Ascot Race Course, a horse-racing mecca since 1711.  We also walk through the woods to visit The Great Pond, adjacent to Windsor Great Park, before finishing with a canter along the Old Mile race track.  We may stop at the Rose Inn for a break.  No stiles and almost all flat.
