About
The Savill Garden should rank very highly because it is one of the most polished attractions in the wider Virginia Water area and the official case is strong. Windsor Great Park describes 35 acres of designed gardens, woodland and seasonal displays with enough variety for a full visit, while review snippets point to it as a rewarding stop for plant lovers and day-trippers alike.\n\nIt is more formal and more curated than the free lake walk, which helps the shortlist cover a different kind of outing.
