From the car park, cross the A332 to Ranger's Gate and enter the park. In 1/2 mile at the first crossroads continue forward, signposted ‘York Club, Cumberland Lodge and Royal School’, and follow the drive to the next junction by two ponds where swans are often seen.

Turn left here, signposted ‘Cumberland Lodge, Village Shop, Royal School, The Village’. Pass the Post Office and General Store, walk between a spacious green and cricket pitch, and then after the children’s play area, turn right, off the track, to join the broad, grassy Queen Anne’s Ride, heading towards an equestrian statue. Look back for another view of Windsor Castle. Follow the ride to a tarmac drive and the equestrian statue of Queen Elizabeth II, erected for her Golden Jubilee. Turn left, onto the tarmac drive, keep left at the fork, then left again after 65yds (60m) at a crossroads.

Continue ahead at the next junction and then, 200yds (183m) beyond the woods, turn right to follow a broad, hedge-lined, grassy path. Ahead lies Royal Lodge and to the left of it is the famous Copper Horse statue. Take the next grassy ride on the left and head for a deer gate. Through this, keep ahead towards the statue, cross a sandy bridleway, and when you draw level with the statue bear left. The figure of George III points the way to a woodland path, which merges with a sandy bridleway running down to a drive. Pass through the gate and keep right at the immediate fork.

Walk along to Queen Anne’s Ride, which crosses the drive just before a house. On the left is a millstone. Turn right here and follow the ride to Russel’s Pond, on your left. Veer left and walk beside the pond and fence. Go straight ahead (right) as the path forks left and right. Continue uphill through woodland, then drop down to the road at Ranger’s Gate.

Cross over at the lights and take the tarmac drive beyond the car park. Just before white gates leading into Flemish Farm, turn left and follow a sandy bridleway alongside a field. Continue up the slope and through the wood. Continue on the bridleway until eventually you reach a drive. On the right is Cranbourne Tower. Turn left to return to the car park.ventually you reach a drive.
