Picnic spots Windsor

The Long Walk - Windsor Great Park

The Long Walk in Windsor is renowned for its picturesque path which runs all the way to Windsor Castle with symmetrical greenery either side. This might not be the most peaceful place to pitch up a picnic as it's usually fairly busy, but it's a good place to go if you'd like a refreshing walk too.

Virginia Water - Windsor Great Park

Virginia Water Lake is also part of Windsor Great Park, located on the edge of Berkshire and Surrey. Virginia Water is a man-made lake that was originally created as a Royal pleasure ground, but is now a spectacular destination for all members of the public to enjoy.

You can make your way around the whole lake (a 4.5 mile walk), and on the way you'll find various quiet spots to pitch up your picnic, surrounded by scenic views of waterfalls, majestic statues, and beautiful nature.
