Parks & Nature

A world class park in the extensive grounds of Windsor Castle. There are a huge variety of options within Windsor Great Park including walks through free roaming deer along the 'Long Walk', to a lakeside loop of Virginia Water. There is plenty to do and see and I very strongly recommend a visit for nature/walking enthusiasts.

A relatively quiet park and woodland area between Burnham and Farnham Common. Burnham Beeches offers excellent walks through ancient Oak woodland, open grass spaces perfect for picnics and marshland and pond areas for chances to catch a glimpse of some of Britain's many unique wildlife species.

Sightseeing

Not a lot needs to be said of the world famous Windsor Castle, one of the homes of the British Royal Family. The castle itself can be visited for a fee and comes highly recommended for any history enthusiasts, but the castle is located in the centre of the town so much of it can be viewed for free for a short walk around Windsor.

A world famous boarding school for boys located in Eton, a short drive from Appletree Cottage. Attended by many people of historical notoriety. The school is active so tours are restricted but possible to be arranged. There is a fully pedestrianised area surrounding the College however so everyone can take a look at some of the historic buildings and walls for free.

Drinks & Nightlife

Windsor town centre offers an excellent range of restaurants, bars, pubs, breweries and nightclubs. I am more than happy to recommend individual places but equally worth an explore! A taxi ride to Eton Bridge and short (~5 minute) walk into town saves the long drive round for the money conscious.
