virginia water - windsor great park

A caminhada de domingo à tarde foi em Virginia Water. O parque pertence ao Windsor Great Park e é um sítio fantastico para passear a dois ou com a familia.

The Royal Landscape has a thousand acres of stunning scenery incorporating The Savill Garden, The Valley Gardens and Virginia Water lake.
Virginia Water is located on the southern edge of Windsor Great Park, near Ascot. There is a pleasant walk around the lake, encompassing many curiosities, including a 100 foot totem pole, a cascade, an obelisk raised by George II, and part of a ruined city imported from North Africa. 
The circuit around the lake is about 4.5 miles (7.2 km), about half is paved and the other half is a "natural" path both providing easy walking conditions even with a pushchair.  The lake also offers perfect spots for picnics and stunning scenery.
Virginia Water is open all year around, from dawn until dusk.. Virginia Water is free to enter on foot, but parking charges apply.
The woodlands surrounding the lake have been continuously planted since the middle of the 18th Century.
