Small Group-Fit For Royalty: Windsor Estate, Virginia Water & Castle Vista

Join Me For A Royal Winter Day Hike escape from London.

I first visited Windsor shortly after Prince Philip passed away - and something about the town stayed with me. The quiet grace of the castle, the endless tree-lined avenues, the open deer park breathing around you… it was magical. I’ve been returning ever since, and every time, it feels like stepping into a story.
So this December, I’m inviting you to come walk it with me.
We’ll cross the royal grounds, wander along Virginia Water Lake, move through ancient oaks and open parkland — and finish with that breathtaking view of Windsor Castle rising ahead like a scene from a film.
And who knows… if luck is on our side, we might even spot Prince Philip’s famous black carriage horses training along The Long Walk. A moment only seen by those who happen to be there — at the right time, in the right season. 🐎
Bonus: if people still have energy at the end, we can also cross the bridge to Eton, the town that shaped some of Britain’s most powerful figures — and home to its most famous private school. History is everywhere here.

Key Info:
Meeting point: London Waterloo Station - full itinerary will be available after RSVP.
Distance: 15 miles through forests, gardens & lakes ( you will need to wear layers, waterproofs, good footwear).
Train from Waterloo — just under 1 hour. We’ll grab a discounted around £15 group open return on the day.
Meet: 08:10 - train departs shortly after and we will return to London approx 18:30

At the end of the hike, as is tradition, we usually finish with a drink in a cosy Windsor pub — think mulled wine, cider or a well-earned pint. This part is completely optional, but always a lovely way to round off the day.

Why this is unique:
We travel as a small group, which means this isn’t just a hike — it’s shared conversation, gentle connection, a chance to meet people properly rather than disappear among dozens.
It feels like escaping the city with friends, even if you arrive knowing no one yet. :-)
