Leisure

Situated at the heart of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, the Walton Cottage Hotel is in the centre of one of the most attractive tourism regions of Europe. The Thames Valley between Windsor and Henley offers a wide variety of sights ranging from the monumental to the picturesque.

Recreational activities include boating, golf, riding, and the simple joy of rambling through the welcoming countryside. The grandeur of Windsor Castle and the annual sporting events of Royal Ascot and Henley Royal Regatta bring the whole world to our doorstep, but our greatest treasure is the intricate tapestry of woods, fields, gardens, cottages and mansions, bridges and boathouses, docksides and locks along one of the loveliest stretches of river on earth.

Whether you are visiting on business or pleasure, a walk along the Thames Path is a delight not to be missed.

The Major Historic Sights

Windsor Castle

The largest inhabited castle in the world is a favoured residence of the Queen yet much of the castle complex and its vast parkland is open to exploration by the public.

Eton

Just across the river from Windsor are the beautiful buildings and pleasant streets of the small town of Eton. The famous school, Eton College, is as much a part of our national heritage as a setting for a privileged education and visitors are often welcome to enjoy visits of the college and grounds.

Cliveden

This historic stately home overlooking the River Thames was once the palatial home of the Astor family. Now owned by the National Trust, it serves as a luxury hotel, but its spectacular grounds and gardens are open to visitors.

Hampton Court Palace

Cardinal Wolsley, Henry VIII and William and Mary all played a role in building this vast royal palace. As famous for its gardens and ancient maze as its impressive architecture, a visit to Hampton Court makes for a splendid day trip from Maidenhead.
