Home Park, Windsor

It lies mainly on the eastern side of the castle in the former civil parish of Windsor in the English county of Berkshire.

As well as beautiful parkland, gardens and avenues of fine trees, it contains farmland (cattle grazing and winter feed), a golf course, a bowling green (for the Royal Household Bowling Club), a cricket field (for the Royal Household Cricket Club), tennis courts (Windsor Home Park Lawn Tennis Club), the playing fields of St George's School, Adelaide Cottage (on the site of the old Keeper's Lodge) and the Frogmore Estate, including Frogmore House, and gardens with Frogmore Cottage and a large lake, the Royal Mausoleum and the Royal Burial Ground.

Originally in the manor of Orton and not a royal possession, part of the area was first emparked (for deer hunting) by King Edward III in 1368 and expansion continued over many centuries.

Areas of the Home Park are mentioned in Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor and show that the main road to Datchet then ran through it.

Frogmore House and gardens alone are open to the general public on a few specific days in the spring and summer.
