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. 

Improvement work at Virginia Water - The Totem Pole and Wick Pond Causeway

A detailed landscape scheme has begun around the Totem Pole and Wick Causeway in at Virginia Water lake, which will involve –

• The re-routing of the tarmac road to a new line around the back of the Totem Pole to provide a safe, non-vehicular area on the Valley Gardens side of the Totem Pole;
• Extending Canadian Avenue to provide a direct link with the Totem Pole, improving the setting and presentation of the structure;
• The addition of bench seating and the removal of unnecessary paths;
• The provision of suitable surfacing on the causeway itself which will be more durable and weather-proof than the existing muddy, compacted ground and  unsatisfactory tarmac.

There will be some disruption over the coming months, with the completion of the project planned for Spring 2010, though great effort will be made to minimise the inconvenience to our visitors.

The Rose Garden

The Rose Garden is currently closed. Work on the new Rose Garden is underway and remains on schedule for re-opening in early June 2010.  

Satellite navigation devices

It 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.)
