**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:** 09:00 London Waterloo Station Underneath the main clock * **Trains**: 09.33 train from Waterloo arrives at Datchet Station 10.22, journey time, 57 mins * **Tickets:** Contactless accepted or Return ticket London to Eton and Windsor Riverside Station or * **Hike Start:** 10.30 Datchet Station * **Lunch:** pack lunch (water,snacks and lunch) * **Estimated finish:** 17:00, Windsor and Eton Riverside 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📧 [golondongary@hotmail.co.uk](mailto:golondongary@hotmail.co.uk) **What to Bring** ✅ Hiking boots or sturdy shoes ✅ Water
