You can enter Windsor Great Park from various points. This is a starting point we like as it allows us to stretch our legs and run the kids’ energy off. The route leads to The Copper Horse which is really impressive when standing underneath it.
From here you have a fabulous view of Windsor Castle and the long drive leading up to it through the royal park.
There is woodland on route where you can build a den or lead a little nature treasure hunt.
We’ve been here in all sorts of weather. We’ve seen a royal couple out walking. They came across our youngest doing a sneaky nature poo (take note….. no access to toilets here) and we have seen the horse guards/ queens cavalry riding through. Stunning horses!
Our little ones love to play ‘rock shop’ on the boulders that make up the base that the statue sits on. Amazing how much you can do with some sticks, leaves, petals as stock and pebbles for cash! Many a picnic had here too.
If you head left as you reach the copper horse in the summer months, across the meadow area, you will find all sorts of wildlife. Bugs and butterflies galore if you like that sort of thing.
