Home Park

Home Park is a royal park in Windsor and Maidenhead, England, stretching across 265 hectares around Windsor Castle. The grounds contain an eighteen-hole golf course, several sports facilities, long tree-lined avenues, and manicured gardens along the riverside.

King Edward III enclosed parts of the grounds as a deer park in 1368, establishing the foundation for the current layout. In the 17th century King Charles II redesigned the area as a formal park and planted the double rows of oak trees.

The name dates back to medieval times when this area served as the private hunting ground of the royal family. Today visitors often spot deer and other wildlife moving freely between old trees and open grassland.

Most areas remain closed to the public, but Frogmore House and its gardens open on selected days in spring and summer. Access is through signposted entrances near Windsor Castle.

A small 19th-century mausoleum stands hidden among tall trees and houses several royal graves. The Royal Windsor Horse Show takes place every May on the open grassland and draws thousands of spectators.
