Most visitors will associate Windsor with the Castle and the Royal Family; however there is much more to the town than this association. The oldest building in Windsor is Clewer Parish Church. Of Saxon foundation, its chapel bears the name of Sir Bernard Brocas, Lord of Clewer Manor who, in 1385, gave land in trust to the Church: Shakespeare refers to him in Richard II. In the churchyard is the grave of Sir Daniel Gooch, the Chief Locomotive Engineer of the Great Western Railway and later chairman: he was responsible for laying the first transatlantic telegraph cable in 1866 on the steamship, The Great Eastern. Nearby is the Mill House, once the home of Jimmy Page of the Rock Group Led Zepplin, and later in the '70s occupied by actor, Michael Caine. The Camm family lived in Alma Road:
Sydney, born in 1893, designed the Hawker Hurricane Fighter of WWII; his brother
Fred, became a journalist and was the author of all the magazines with Practical in their title, namely, Wireless, Mechanics, Motoring and Householder, etc.

Our walk starts with the northern section of the 'Long Walk', into Windsor Town and to the River Thames. We walk through the western edge of Windsor, seeing much of interest en route, before returning to the start point, where those wanting the short walk will depart; those remaining for the long walk will continue along the southern section of the 'Long Walk' to the famous Copper Horse, an equestrian statue with King George III.
