Overview

*Walk is limited to 20 walkers. Please phone Alexis on  07876 195911 to register your attendance.*

Starting in Engelfield Green we walk through a meadow before entering the Great Park at Savil gardens. We then walk over the polo fields, through the Heather Garden and wiggle through some of the valley gardens before heading towards blackness gate, along the side of Virginia water lake before joining the 3 Castles path to the picnic, and the royal handover.  

The royal party departs Windsor Castle in a fleet of cars and travels along the Long Walk into Windsor Great Park. We have our picnic where they change from cars to horse-drawn Ascot Landaus then the royal procession makes its way down the Straight Mile of Ascot Racecourse.

After the picnic we go past the Royal school and leave the park at Bishopsgate back to the start point.

Total distance for the day will be over 9 miles, about 6 to the picnic, then 3 after. As impossible to recce during royal ascot plans may need to be adjusted on the day

Bring lunch and a snack.
