  1. Step 1: We parked at Taplow station & took a train to Slough & another to Windsor Central. This takes 30 mins. Explore Windsor, visit a loo or grab food before starting as there are no options on route. Then head down hill to the river.

  2. The route down is often busy with tourists but we’ll soon leave them behind. Turn right & walk to Windsor bridge & cross to start the walk.
