Where to horse ride

These are some of our horse riders’ favourite locations within Windsor Great Park and Swinley Forest. For full details of all of our horse tracks where you are able to ride, please view our Permitted Horse Riding Routes map.

Offering enchanting woodland trails for horse riders through grand oak trees, some of which are over 800 years old. From here, you can ride along the horse track to the peak of Snow Hill and enjoy stunning views across historic Windsor and Eton. Visit our page on The Long Walk and Deer Park for more information about this area.

Trot down the oak-lined avenue of Queen Anne’s Ride, named after the 18th Century Queen’s fondness for a horse drawn carriage ride along this path. Then ride alongside the Jubilee Statue, the only sculpture to have been commissioned of The Queen on horseback, and admire the view from on high towards Windsor Castle below. Visit our page on Queen Anne’s Ride and Stag Meadow for more information about this area.

For further woodland trails, Swinley Forest is home to 2,500 acres of landscaped Scots Pine woodland, offering open grassland and natural tracks for riders and their horses to explore. For more information about this area – which is 20 minutes from Windsor Great park by car, please visit our Swinley Forest page.

Here is a map of the tracks available to horse ride in Oxshott for  Oxshott horse riding permit holders.  

 

 

For easy access to Windsor Great Park’s riding trails, you will need to park your horsebox opposite Ranger’s Gate, within the designated car park. There is another designated horsebox car park, nearest postcode is SL5 8AZ – this gives easy access to Swinley Forest horse riding trails. 

The locations of both of these can be found on our Interactive Map by using the Horse Box Car Park filter.
