As part of the careful management of The Royal Landscape, there are occasions when essential work has to take place. We endeavour to inform our visitors when this work may affect their visit. This page will be updated with key information that may affect your visit to The Royal Landscape. Blue Green Algae in Virginia Water LakeThere is currently a growth of blue green algae in the water at the southern end of Virginia Water Lake, between the totem pole causeway and the cascade. We ask that all visitors please follow the advice of the signage and do not allow any dogs to come into contact with the water. Canine exposure to blue green algae can be serious, and if you suspect that your dog has been in contact with the water then the advice is to contact your vet. We will continue to monitor the situation and keep our visitors updated through this website. Temporary Closure to Cow PondThe landscaping project at Cow Pond is reaching its final stages and it will be necessary to close the site to visitors for short period of time. Thank you for your patience and we will re-open this area as soon as possible. Summer WoodVisitors to The Savill Garden will notice closure to some parts of Summer Wood. This necessary work is part of a development programme including improvements to the planting displays and drainage in this area. Satellite navigation devicesIt has been brought to our attention that some satellite navigation devices have misinformed visitors of the appropriate route to The Savill Garden, and as such should not be relied on to direct you to our car park. The Savill Garden car park is ONLY accessible from Wick Road, and visitors from all directions should follow the brown tourist signs showing 'The Royal Landscape', 'The Savill Garden' or depicting a flower symbol. (There is no access to The Savill Garden car park from within Windsor Great Park, to which vehicle access is restricted.) Alternatively, input the destination postcode TW20 0XD as this has been more effective for navigating to The Savill Garden. Parking on roads around Windsor Great ParkThe Crown Estate have been asked by the Police to remind all drivers that parking on the A30 clearway,and other roads surrounding Windsor Great Park with clearway status or yellow lines, is illegal and will result in a ticket and a fine. Please use the official car parks only. Blacknest car park on the Blacknest Road is always the last car park to fill up. Updated: 30/01/2012 |
