Iconic Photos

The Long Walk is one of Windsor’s most iconic and beloved landmarks: a grand, tree-lined avenue stretching 2.64 miles (4.25 km) from the Castle gates to the Copper Horse statue in Windsor Great Park. A symbol of royal ceremony and timeless English design, it remains a place of quiet beauty, reflection, and unforgettable perspective.
"The views of the castle were spectacular. We fell in love with Joey the beautiful horse and John and Rebecca were just great! Certainly the highlight of our trip to Windsor."
