BY ROAD M25 - Leave M25 at junction 13 - signposted A30 Staines. This is a very complicated junction! Follow signs for Windsor A308 and you will eventually find yourself beside the River
Thames, having passed the Runnymede Hotel.
Drive for more than one mile and then turn left at a mini roundabout -
signposted A328 Englefield Green -
into Priest Hill. At the brow of the hill turn right into Castle Hill
Road - signposted Great Park - and
then right again at the T-junction into Bishopsgate
Road. This road leads directly to Bishop's Gate and the entrance into the
Great Park. Drive up close to the gates,
which will open automatically. At the
crossroads beyond the gates, turn left.
After half a mile there is a sign to Cumberland Lodge - turn half right
into the road, which leads directly to the Lodge.
BY ROAD West, M40
and M4 - Leave the M40 at junction 4 -
signposted A404 Marlow and Maidenhead
and continue along the A404 until it
joins the M4, when you follow the London signs. Leave the
M4 at Junction 6 - signposted Windsor. Follow, first of all, signs for Windsor and then signs for A332
Ascot. Do not turn into Windsor Town
Centre, but go to the large roundabout with traffic lights at the end of the
dual carriageway from the motorway. Take
the second exit along Goslar Way and
then straight on at the next two roundabouts.
At the third, large, roundabout take the third exit, still following Ascot signs. Look out
for the large 'Welcome to Windsor Great Park' and 50 mph speed limits. About
one mile beyond take the turn to the left to a set of double white gates just
before pedestrian traffic lights. They
open automatically when you pause in front of them. After about half a mile take the second
turning to the left, by two ponds, where there is a small signpost showing the
way to Cumberland Lodge. Take care to
slow down for the three ramps as you pass between the village and the sports
field. Continue over the crossroads,
down a hill and up again. A road joins
on the right near the top of the hill and then immediately after Chaplain's Lodge there are three roads on
the right. Take the third one - the
second of two parallel ones - to Cumberland Lodge.
BY ROAD South, M3
and A30 - Leave the M3 at junction 3
signposted A322 Bracknell. After the
traffic lights follow signs for A30
London - the second of two turnings on the left. Join the A30
and travel for 5 miles through Sunningdale.
At the crossroads with traffic lights and Royal Holloway College on your diagonal right, turn left signposted A328 Englefield Green into St Jude's Road. In this road,
full of speed restricting ramps, go straight on at two mini roundabouts. At the end of the village green - just before
the speed derestriction sign - turn left into Bishopsgate
Road. At the end of this road is Bishop's Gate - the entrance to the Great Park. Drive up close
to the gates, which will open automatically.
At the crossroads just beyond the gates, turn left. After half a mile there is a sign to
Cumberland Lodge - turn half right into the road, which leads directly to the
Lodge.
