  Slough to Egham via Windsor Great Park walk

  An introductory walk passing Windsor Castle with lots of history, deer, pheasants, and the Royal Landscape.

  This Walk is from Upton Court Park (Slough) to Virginia Waters (Egham). It is a very easy walk covering approximately 16km over 4 hours of walking, not including breaks and stoppage time, and the elevations are very soft and gradual. There are lots of amenities at the waypoints, which are each no more than an hour apart at a very comfortable pace, including toilets and cafes.

  This walk starts in a built up town, Slough, and ends in the very pretty gardens of the Royal Landscape, giving the very spiritual and uplifting effect of walking out of urban civilisation into an idyllic rural setting. This is a very good introductory walk for those new to it and theres lots of absorbing local culture and history to discover along the way. A visit to Windsor castle would not go amiss. There's some nice wildlife to explore, with deer and pheasants at various points through the Royal Landscape which you are sure to see if you are quiet enough.

  The way points are: Upton Court Park, Windsor Castle, Snow Hill, Saville Gardens & Valley Gardens.

  Apologies for not having plotted the route from train station to train station, but this is very easy to adapt. Slough Station is a good starting point, only about a ten minute walk from the start at Upton Court Park, and Virginia Waters or Egham Stations are not too far from the end at Valley Gardens/Egham Wick. This will add about 3km to the total distance.
