Self Guided Walks







Crossing over the footbridge keep going straight on the other side.

After about 50 metres you will come to the gate pictured below with footpath signs, immediately before a track.

The direct route is straight ahead, across the track and through a field. If you don't like the look of the field and would prefer hard ground under your feet, turn right down the track. When you reach a road, turn left. About 200m up the road you will rejoin the walk where you see a footpath sign pointing down a track to your left into a boatyard.

If you choose the direct route, you will exit the field in a few hundred metres into a slipway of a rowing club - right next to the River Thames. Passing front of the rowing club buildings and exit down their access track.

Keep to the left of the main road reached. In less than 100 metres, turn left, (public footpath sign) into parkland. This is Eton Playing Fields.

Just follow the path in front of you. In a while you come to a small footbridge over a stream, continue straight over the bridge. On your right is the College Field where sports maybe taking place. Follow the path to the college buildings and continue the course of the tarmac veering to the right. Just keep going with college buildings all around you. Eventually you will come out by Eton High Street

If you don't want to poke around Eton, turn left down Eton High Street. Continue straight all the way, eventually crossing over Windsor Bridge to our starting point in Windsor.

At first, many of shops are tied with the college with tailors and book shops prevailing. Soon you come into an area of shops for paintings, antiques and pianos. The Christopher Hotel is passed on your right.

As you near the bridge things become more commercial, restaurants and pubs start cropping up. The restaurant far bottom is in a particular noticeably olde worlde building. Right by the bridge its in your face tourist shops, right by the bridge are (expensive) restaurants overlooking the Thames and Windsor on the opposite bank.


End of walk
Eton College was founded in 1440 by King Henry VI. The College originally had 70 King’s Scholars or ‘Collegers’ who lived in the College and were educated free, and a small number of ‘Oppidans’ who lived in the town of Eton and paid for their education.
Today it is a secondary school (a ‘high school’ in the American sense) for approximately 1,290 boys between the ages of 13 and 18, all of whom are boarders.
Although the college is a working school and not a tourist attraction, guided tours are available on an organised basis at a comparatively reasonable charge.
