The way towards Wraybury station leads through a nice footpath next to a pond. Once past the railway station the route turns to a footpath which can be muddy at times. When the route crosses the railway line, it follows another nice footpath between a pond and a stream....

I also ignored the last part of the route, when you get to the end of Park Road there is a large roundabout, head into the subway and follow the signs to The Lexicon, it's easy to get to the station from there and means you don't have to cross any major roads....

To divert from Windsor to Ascot at Snow Hill turn right along a footpath or bridleway. If you are going from Ascot to Windsor then just turn left where the route is closed and then take every first right until you end up at Snow Hill....

The next stretch of the route leads via quiet narrow roads and lanes until it emerges at a busy Drift Road. When it reaches the Mount Skippets Farm, the route is blocked on the left hand side towards the farm but there is a way round the farm if you turn right. After some 150m walking along a hedge, you need to turn right but there seemed to be no path visible on the ground....

This route leads through a maximum number of parks and accessible woods between Bracknell and Ascot....

A mostly quiet walk through a green countryside with a couple of sections where walkers need to share a road with cars. For instance a turn to Hibbert Road from Windsor Road in Bray Wick....

Walking towards Winkfield Row is on a pavement which ends when you turn to Braziers Lane. The next stretch of the route leads via quiet narrow roads and lanes until it emerges at a busy Drift Road. When it reaches the Mount Skippets Farm, the route is blocked as shown on the fourth photo below. From what I see on the map it should be possible to go away from the gate and round the Mount Skippets Farm instead. After some 150m walking along a hedge, you need to turn right but there seemed to be no path visible on the ground....

I can only add that when the route turns to a horse trail at the beginning of the Windsor Great Park, you can follow it right up to the Blacknest Gate. There is no need to follow any alternative footpath branching off the horse trail. No cycles are allowed on the horse trail but there are signs warning riders against pedestrians so there should be no problem with access....

Leaving Ascot town center, there is either a road with a pavement down to the train station or as the route suggests a wide direct pavement from the racecourse car park straight to a subway under the station. When the route reaches Bagshot Road there is still a pavement for some 400m but then it stops. There was a locked iron gate across the road where the footpath emerged on Church Road but pedestrians can go past it via a gate on the side....

The initial part via Course Road has no pavements for pedestrians, but it's a very quiet residential street and then a little-used road behind the racecourse (unless, presumably, there's a race on) so walking in the road itself is not a problem. It's also much more pleasant than walking along London Road. Between Winkfield Road and Cheapside Road the path can be very muddy, especially after heavy rain....

There is a bench by the side of the road before you get into the Crown Estate- there isn’t another bench until well into Windsor Great Park! The path in the Crown Estate is paved until the left turn, at which point it turns into a muddy/gravelly path with more exposed roots. To get from the Crown Estate into Windsor Great Park there is a busy road to cross with no lights or pedestrian crossing....

The Slow Way makes good use of footpaths through Lily Hill Park (Photo 3) and via woods by Heathfield School (Photo 4); to reach the A329 and a break point at The Royal Foresters....

The only extra comment I would add to my first one is that there is a high metal gate on the approach from the Cumberland Lodge to the Copper horse statue of George III which seems to be locked at first glance. However, I could push the gate for pedestrians easily and to move up to the statue....

As I walked this route in mid January and started from Ascot, I couldn't follow it further than to Cumberland Lodge....
