The Savill Garden is a tranquil place to discover rare plants from around the world, arranged in stunning seasonal displays. Since its creation in the 1930s, The Savill Garden has been an inspiration for all. This natural haven of beautifully designed gardens and woodland can be enjoyed by everyone, from dedicated horticulturists to those who just want to spend a relaxing day out with family or friends. The 35 acres of interconnected gardens include the Hidden Gardens, Spring Wood, the Summer Gardens, the New Zealand Garden, Summer Wood, The Glades, Autumn Wood and the Winter Beds.
Our first ever visit to The Savill Garden did not disappoint Luckily we had a free parking voucher but entry to the garden is £11 pp for non members. Despite it being a Bank Holiday the garden was very quite and peaceful. A sturdy flat path leads you around to the various specialized areas of the garden including Summer Wood Spring Wood The Summer Garden and the Azalea walk. To explore these areas you need to leave the main path onto neatly mown grass. The flower bed displays are exceptional and I loved the use of pea sticks to support the tall colourful dahlias. With plenty of benches to rest and take in the vistas makes this a great place to spend some wind down time.

The Air Forces Memorial at Runnymede commemorates by name over 20,000 airmen who were lost in the Second World War during operations from bases in the United Kingdom and North and Western Europe, and who have no known graves. They served in Bomber, Fighter, Coastal, Transport, Flying Training and Maintenance Commands, and came from all parts of the Commonwealth. Some were from countries in continental Europe which had been overrun but whose airmen continued to fight in the ranks of the Royal Air Force. This Memorial overlooks the River Thames on Cooper's Hill at Englefield Green between Windsor and Egham on the A308, 4 miles from Windsor.
Have visited this venue on a couple of occasions and I never fail to feel humbled by the experience. You also have a wonderful view from the tower and, on a clear day, you can see Wembley Stadium.

Beautiful Gardens, part of Windsor Great Park & a loverly walk around the Virginia lake, the girls enjoyed all the Rhododendrons in all their colour. Our walk included a nice stop at the Bailiwick pub for lunch ( see separate review ) before heading back towards the car & stopping off at Saville Gardens for more none alcoholic refreshments. Great day out on a loverly sunny day
