		Windsor Great Park (locally referred to simply as the Great Park) is a large deer park and Crown Estate of 5,000 acres, to the south of the town of Windsor on the border of Berkshire and Surrey in England.
		The park was, for many centuries, the private hunting ground of Windsor Castle and dates primarily from the mid-13th century.
		The park lies mostly within the civil parish of Old Windsor, though the eastern regions are in the Borough of Runnymede and there are small areas in the parishes of Winkfield and Sunninghill.

	Windsor - The Great Park
		The Great Park, part of a vast Norman hunting chase, is set in 5,000 acres of the Surrey and Berkshire countryside stretching from Windsor Castle to the north and Ascot to the south.
		With royal connections going back to King Edward the Confessor (1042 to 1066) the Great Park was enclosed for the hunting of deer and wild boar during the 13th century with a series of fences and ditches known as park pale.
		This impressive landscape feature that links Windsor Castle with the Great Park was followed by an active period of landscaping and many of the avenues, woods and coverts seen today are a legacy of this period.
