Windsor and the Great Park

You don’t have to be the next Bradley Wiggins, but you’ll need to know your way around a bike and be fairly fit to take part in our Challenging rides. If you’re comfortable riding with other people and fancy a fresh challenge, these rides are perfect for you. They start at around twenty miles long, and are paced at between 11 and 12 miles an hour. Starting in Herschel Park Slough, the ride takes us south through Datchet Village and along the river Thames, over Albert Bridge to Old Windsor. We then climb Crimp Hill and enter Windsor Great Park through Main Gate. The ride then takes us through the park, skirting Virginia Waters and joins the A30 for a short bit of fast road work before re-entering the park near Savill Gardens. We continue through the park to a refreshment stop at The Village Cafe before leaving the park for Windsor. Crossing the Thames into Eton, we enter Slough from the south and return through Victorian Herschel Park to the start point.
