This is a nice short walk in the Great Park with easy access to Windsor Town Centre. Start at the Long Walk Gate Car Park and take the path that leads in a north-westerly direction along the edge of the field. After ~700m take a left, heading south-west between the football club and the raised flood defense. About halfway across the next field, cross over the Bourne Ditch and trace the edge of the field as it curves round to the south-east. Follow this boundary path until it connects with the A332 and the Ranger Gate Car Park.
Cross the A332 and enter the park through the Ranger’s Gate. Don’t follow the road, but take the sandy bridleway to the left. Continue until you pass Russell’s Pond and meet Queen Anne’s Drive. Take a left and follow Queen Anne’s Drive all the way back to the Long Walk Gate Car Park.
