The Copper Horse (King George III Monument)

Highlight • Monument

Perched upon Snow Hill at the southern end of the Long Walk from Windsor Castle, sits The Copper Horse. This impressive statue shows King George III atop his stead and was created in 1831.

The statue was inspired by a similar creation of Marcus Aurelius and features George pointing to the castle in the distance. Snow Hill offers fantastic views along the Long Walk avenue and is a waypoint on the Three Castles Path long-distance walking trail.

Windsor Castle Back Gates and Start of the Long Walk

Highlight • Historical Site

A royal residence, Windsor Castle is a world famous, iconic building. Whilst the castle itself is extraordinary and well worth visiting, the view from the back gates is truly phenomenal. Windsor Great Park begins here and encompasses 4,992 acres (2,020 ha) of exquisite grounds.

From the castle's back gates, the Long Walk begins, stretching south into the Great Park. Gazing down its 3-mile span (4.8 km) is quite an experience.

The Long Walk, Windsor Great Park

Highlight • Historical Site

The Long Walk at Windsor Castle is 4km long and was previously used by the monarch to meet selected people in the park at Windsor Castle and find out their opinions about society and politics. Today that's no longer the case, but it's still nice to walk there.

The Cascade Waterfall, Windsor Great Park

Highlight • Waterfall

A short stroll from the Pavillion, the Cascade is a 30-foot (9 m) waterfall. Created in 1789, its presence relies on a decent amount of rain and it’s at its most impressive after prolonged, heavy rainfall.

Just a little bit further along the trail are the Leptis Magna Ruins, which were built from masonry recovered from an ancient Roman city that existed in what is today Libya.
