10 Aug 2024It was a lovely day and plenty of people out to enjoy the views. An interesting route. I started from Riverside Station.

13 Nov 2022Eton to Windsor (Etowin 1) review.
A neat connecting walk over the Thames (Photo 1) and past Windsor Castle.
There is no shortage of benches along the way.

17 Oct 2021Short and straightforward, and also an interesting walk. I walked along Eton High Street, enjoyed a well-kept pint of the local beer at the excellent George Inn, then across the Thames on a footbridge, and up the (fairly steep) hill past the Theatre Royal (Cherry Orchard) to finish opposite Windsor Castle, outside the Central Station (service to Slough).
4 stars, not the route's fault, too many cars in Windsor for perfection, but close!.

07 Oct 2021Most direct, no other route will be faster. And the roads have footpaths and traffic should be slow (20-30mph limits). Ascent/Descent figures look incorrect. Eton->Windsor has a significant hill climb up to the Castle.

05 Jun 2021This must count as one of the shortest Slow Ways and one where the route is inevitable, along Eton High Street, over the Thames and up the hill into Windsor. Eton and Windsor are both lovely as is the Thames.
