The Copper Horse is a prominent landmark in Windsor Great Park, depicting King George III on horseback. It sits atop Snow Hill, a high point that provides sweeping views across the park and beyond, including Windsor Castle in the distance. The statue is a popular spot for walkers and photographers, especially at sunrise or sunset when the light enhances the scenery. The area around the statue is open grassland, ideal for picnics or a leisurely stroll, and the statue itself is a fine example of early 19th-century sculpture.

Don't miss

  • Enjoy panoramic views of Windsor Castle and the surrounding parkland from the base of the statue.
  • Photograph the statue at sunset for dramatic lighting and long shadows.
  • Walk the Long Walk, a straight avenue leading from the statue to Windsor Castle.
