Any Questions WhatsApp Gary 07968585224 Starting from Datchet Station, this beautiful and historic hike follows the Thames towards Runnymede, one of the most important historic sites in England. It was here in 1215 that King John sealed the Magna Carta, the document that placed limits on royal power and helped shape the development of modern democracy. From Runnymede, we climb through woodland before entering the magnificent Windsor Great Park, hiking through ancient oak trees, open parkland and rolling countryside. We’ll then join the famous Long Walk, with superb views towards Windsor Castle as we make our way into Windsor. Windsor Castle has been a royal residence for almost 1,000 years, while the surrounding Great Park was once the traditional hunting ground of generations of kings and queens. Our hike finishes in Windsor, where you are welcome to join us for a well-earned drink and refreshments before making your way home. 🕘 Schedule & Meeting Info • Meeting Time: 09:10 London Paddington Station next to the ticket office near platform 1 • Trains: 09:37: Depart London Paddington 09:51: Arrive at Slough 10:10: Depart Slough 10:16: Arrive at Windsor & Eton Central 40 mins • Tickets: Contactless accepted or Return ticket London to Windsor and Eaton Central Station • Hike Start: 10.16 Windsor and Eaton Central Station • Lunch: pack lunch (water,snacks and lunch) • Estimated finish: 17:00, Windsor and Eaton Central Station Return Trains to London every 20–30 minutes 🎫 Train fare is not included please purchase your own return ticket in advance or on the day. 📍 Hike Overview • Grade: Beginner 🥾 • Hiking time: 5-5.5 hrs excluding breaks • Distance: 19 km • Accent: 140m • Terrain: Riverside paths, woodland trails, parkland and well-maintained tracks. • Pace: Steady with regular breaks 👣 Hike Leader: Gary📱 07968585224📧 [email protected] What to Bring ✅ Hiking boots or sturdy shoes ✅ Waterproof jacket & layers ✅ Packed lunch, snacks & water ✅ Sun protection (exposed cliffs) ✅ Train ticket / Railcard 💬 What to Expect Our hikes are social, inclusive, and fun.
