Quick overview

  • Access: Free public access via Windsor Great Park; not part of Windsor Castle admission
  • Separate ticket: Not required
  • When you’ll see it: Outside the castle, immediately south of Windsor town and the castle precincts
  • Visit duration: 20–30 min for a short stroll / 45–60 min one way to the Copper Horse
  • Best time: Early morning or the last 2 hours of daylight for cooler temperatures, softer light, and clearer castle views
  • Restrictions: Outdoor public route; follow on-site park signage for dogs, cycling, and temporary access restrictions

The Long Walk is not included with Windsor Castle tickets because it is a public avenue in Windsor Great Park. No separate ticket is needed. It sits just south of the castle and town center, reached on foot through George IV Gateway, so if you’re pairing both in one day, book a Windsor Castle ticket that leaves enough free time before or after your timed entry.

Best tickets to experience the Long Walk

Started by Charles II in the 1680s, the Long Walk turned the south approach to Windsor Castle into a formal royal avenue rather than a simple park road. Later landscaping and the Copper Horse at Snow Hill gave it a stronger ceremonial role and a clearer visual endpoint. Today, it still works both as public parkland and as one of the most recognizable landscape views associated with Windsor Castle.
