Windsor's Best-Kept Secret: The Glory of Autumn
While many plan their Windsor visits for summer, locals know that autumn holds a special magic. As summer crowds disperse, Windsor Great Park transforms into a breathtaking tapestry of gold, amber, and russet. This is when the park truly shows its royal splendor:
Savill Gardens bursts into rich autumn colors
Morning mist creates ethereal scenes across the Great Park
The historic Deer Park comes alive during rutting season
Prince Philip's legacy of 500 Red Deer are more visible
Photography opportunities become truly spectacular
Crisp air and golden light create perfect conditions
Walking paths are carpeted with fallen leaves
Views of Windsor Castle are enhanced by seasonal hues
As one recent guest discovered: "The autumn colours in the gardens were spectacular... Trotting along through the Great Park, into the mist, with the beautiful rhythm of Joey's hooves in the very comfortable, well sprung carriage, made us feel like Royalty for the day!"
