The Long Walk
The Long Walk at Winsor Great Park should be on your to-do list this festive season if it's not already.
Start at the George IV Gateway at Windsor Castle and end up at the striking Copper Horse statue in this three-mile-long tree-lined stroll.
Discover all about its history and you can even try to spot some Red Deer since the 500 of them roam freely around the Deer Park enclosure.
One walker wrote on the reviewing site: "A treasure to find!
"Very welcoming, including for our dog, the team were great.
"Great food, good value, and very much a personal experience in what is becoming a very touristy town. Definitely recommended."
