Langley Park Country Park — Attraction in Wexham and Ivers Community Board

Langley Country Park is misleading. The car park and Cafe are tucked away in a corner of the Estate. The RingGo app collects your money for parking, there’s also a tap and pay machine.

The Park is an enormous area to explore. It includes an orchestrated view of Windsor Castle created many years ago and many rare / valuable trees along with a lot of wildlife.

The big house is a posh Hotel and IMHO we ordinary folk are not invited! The boundary (The Pale) is very clear and unobtrusive.

It’s a fair walk to get beyond the Hotel. If you continue your walk past the lake to its end you are nearly at the other end of the Park from the cafe/car park.

If you turn left along the bottom of the lake you’ll find the path is little used. Be prepared, it’s bramble and nettle lined in parts.

Once clear of this seldom visited area you find yourself on a path heading towards the side road you used to get to the car park. Several left turns are available back towards the cafe.

All these paths run roughly parallel to that side road. You will know when you reach the last of the return paths because the exit from the Park into a posh housing development is in front of you.

Using any of these paths is a delight. Go quietly and carefully to see (or hear) the local wildlife. The screeching call will probably be a Red Kite, they are settling into the area drawn by a lack of competition.

School holidays, weekends and Bank holidays are times to avoid for 2 reasons; 1 - the car park and its overflow extension overflow. Beware the Council have powers to ticket any car parked on the road. 2 - the wildlife moves out looking for tranquility not continuous kids...

Now this is what I call a proper park, not a featurless green space where people just come to jog or walk their dogs. The best park I've been to in the Slough area. The fragrant Rhododendron gardens give the place a blaze of colour and Temple gardens give you an avenue view of Windsor Castle in the far distance. My other favourite feature of this place are the magnificent Giant Sequoias (Wellingtonias) in the Arboretum area; these trees are over 100 years old. Moving on down to the Lake, lazy brown cows soak up the sunshine and lie on the grass in the bordering field, patched with clusters of buttercups. A pair of Swans have made a nest at the far end of the lake protecting their recently hatched offspring. There is a fenced play area for the entertainment of young kids, and plenty of wooden picnic tables/seating near the visitor centre which has a caffe. All in all plenty of features here to provide for a varied and...
