Loved the ‘Windsor Illuminated’ trail. Really fantastic & much better than Wisley which I went to a few days ago! Seemed really interactive and unusual too. Great selection of food stalls etc and just a really lovely few hours out. Took us probably just over an hour to walk round, this was on a Monday so not crowded either. Marked down as finding it is tricky as others have said. The info on the website saying “from M3 junction 3 follow A30 London Road” is really very poor. You have to know the area to know how to get on the A30 and there are no signs directing you there. Once you’re on that, there are signs but could do with a lot more.. if I didn’t know the area I’d be lost! They say add on 10/15 minutes. This is more like 20/25 as the diversion is huge, particularly with few signs and in the dark. The experience itself was 10/10 though!

We were so annoyed with the road signs directing you to the entrance of the Windsor Illuminated Park. Avoid if you follow from Camberley, Windlesham etc. on A30 road as they will take you on a 25 min drive extra on your journey. Simply just turn left (ignore the do jot turn left sign) at the second entrance of Virginia Water Park just before the University in Egham and is a 2 min drive and you are there. Other than the poor logistics (it seems like they have done it to amuse themselves) the light show is spectacular, you have the regular lights, neon lights everywhere and loads of holograms projections. The fairy forest is amazing and the fairy forest club was fun.

Windsor Illuminate - Again this was fantastic and my daughter and I really enjoyed our trip. Although the route has been changed, I found that better than last year. Better selection of food and drink available and plenty of space to sit and eat or roast your marshmallows Only down side for me, it seemed a little more spaced out, with quite a long walk between lights and some spaces not used? I’m not sure if that’s deliberate but it certainly doesn’t put me off booking next year

Much improved over last year albeit the prices in Christmas week are a little on the high side . I made the mistake of booking the wrong date so had to rebook and hope I received a refund . I did but as it was linked to my members car park ticket it would not let me rebook a free car park space . Unable to speak on the phone to organisers as they didn’t answer . Emails did get answered but failed to address the issue . Overall a great experience but some consideration could be given to a members discount over and above the free parking as it’s not really free as we pay for that in our membership . Also went to RHS Wisley lights . Members do receive a discount

We visited the illumination's on new year's eve,we had pre- booked the parking,the walk,and took out the insurance to cover any calamities. Parking was swift and simple,short walk to the trail entrance,and there you can enter your own fantasy world,we thought the themes were excellant,a perfect balance,and very clever. Would we go again,probably,we have been to another similar light show,closer to were we live,and they were both good relative to the size of the areas used.

Positives: the trail itself was beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. It was a bit muddy and one had to be careful walking as the ground was uneven in parks, but I don't see how this could be improved without detriment to the lights. Negatives: This was a big problem. It took us 85 minutes to find the entrance to the park!! .must have driven around the park 3 times. Signage was extremely poor and the 2 gates the sat nav took us to were closed. Yes it says not to use the sat nav but we were in the dark and very lost!! at one point we found some yellow signs which direction us to a roundabout but no indication which exit to take!Had it not been for a cyclist coming out of the park who gave us directions, we would have given up and gone home.

Windsor Great Park Illuminated is one of my favourite December light displays. The variety and creativity, blending light, sound and technology to create one of the best in the country. Definitely the best way to get into the festive mood.

Windsor Great Park has been the playground for kings and princes for over a thousand years. The ancient woodland harbors wild deer, who can be seen taking advantage of the freedom of the park. Visitors can wander through the winding paths, while admiring the diverse foliage. Windsor Great Park is the highlight of any trip to Windsor's Royal residence.

Perfect walking route from Virginia Water all the way to Windsor Castle down this road. Can see numerous deer on either side, as well as kites and other birds of prey on occasion as well as sheep. It can be a tiring path with not particularly much substantial change in scenery for a long time as well as no places to throw rubbish or sit down, but you can always bring a picnic blanket and take up shop anywhere on the route. Plus there are plenty of places to rest and eat in Windsor itself!
