An absolutely beautiful scene! I was looking for a proposal location and Gemma saw the lost look on my face and intervened. She kindly suggested a perfect area with plenty of backup options in case it was busy. Safe to say the proposal went beautifully (as in she said yes). Will definitely be coming back. Spring time is the best time to see all that the landscape has to offer!
Extensive park with easy walks around the Virginia Water lake and beautiful gardens. The park is home to many interesting features, including The Cascade (a dramatic artificial waterfall) and Leptis Magna Roman Ruins at the eastern corner of Virginia Water. The totem pole near The Valley Gardens was an impressive feature, as is the towering obelisk near the upper pond. Wildlife seems to thrive here - I saw lots of birds and a grass snake by the lakeside. Late spring is the best time to visit, when the azaleas and rhododendrons in The Valley Gardens are in full bloom, providing truly stunning displays of colour. The Punchbowl is a must see at this time of year. Parking is fairly expensive at £3 per hour, but there's plenty available across multiple sites, and the facilities are immaculate. A high end café at Virginia Water offers a good range of drinks and cakes, with more substantial lunch options available at The Savill Garden visitor centre, where there's also a large shop. Impeccably maintained toilet facilities are located near the main entrances. The park is free to visit, but The Savill Garden is charged separately - visitors purchasing a ticket are entitled to a refund on their parking charge. If you've got a couple of extra hours The Savill Garden is well worth a visit, particularly in May when the flowers are at their peak. There's plenty to see including a tropical glasshouse, Mediterranean garden and rose garden. Windsor Great Park is easily a full day out if you explore everything it has to offer - set aside another day for Windsor Castle and you can enjoy an excellent weekend here.
Loved the light show and the trail. Was very cozy and lovely experience. Not so great food options, especially if you are a vegetarian. But it's not a place to dine but to admire the shine.
A beautiful place to walk around. Great for photography lovers, families, couples and dog walkers. (Be careful with your dog off lead as I came across some muntjac deer) I parked on Wick Lane and walked through to the Chapel Wood area to photograph the Acers and mushrooms. Easy to follow paths, cafes dotted about and a really beautiful and calm place to be.
Twilight time is the golden moments that turn into best Kodak freezing snaps. We loved the wonderful Lake area and the walk around it. Beautiful family time that we had here.
