Description
Windsor to Wraysbury via Datchet and Sunnymeads.
The direct route would be to cross the river to Old Windsor by ferry; however nowadays there is only the memory of a ferry where the route passes 'Old Ferry Road', and we must walk round the river bends via Datchet until we get to a bridge.
Good refreshments at Datchet, and railway stations at Sunnymeads and Datchet.
Steps and gates. Some of the paths may be soft ground, and muddy, especially the section along the river between Datchet and the bridge crossing to Windsor, which may flood.
Based on Winwra One, substituting Datchet Common for a large chunk of the Horton Road section. This is a routing I've preferred for all the walks in the Datchet area, as I find the Horton Road is quite fast and busy to walk alongside

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

02 Nov 2022I walked from Wraysbury to Windsor.
The first section is along the B376 towards Sunnymeads station; no alternative.
After turning off the main road there is a very pleasant residential area followed by a level crossing across the railway, and a narrow footpath with possibility of nettles.
Eventually to the Horton Road, which is usually quite busy. I’ve routed via Datchet Common so that exposure to the Horton Road is kept to a minimum.
Datchet Common is a bit rough and ready, but for me it’s a welcome contrast to the road alternative.
Datchet has good refreshments but an awful traffic problem.
After Datchet the route goes to the bank of the River Thames - it may be soft and muddy here, or even flooded. At the bridge there are steps.
Once on the Windsor side of the river there is chance to drop off the busy main road into the Home Park (although there may be an event). The end of the route is up the hill opposite the Castle.
Drop out points at Sunnymeads and Datchet stations.
