Beehive Hill Windsor Great Park is a large deer park of 5000 acres to the South Windsor. For many centuries the park was the private hunting ground of Windsor Castle and dates primarily from the mid-13th century. Now largely open to the public (though not publicly funded), the parkland is often open as a recreation area for visitors between dawn and dusk. It is owned and managed by the Crown Estate and historically covered many times its area as Windsor Forest, Windsor Royal Park or its current name (<span class="nowrap"><a title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsor_Great_Park" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsor_Great_Park">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> Wikipedia).

A332 The A332 is a semi-rural A-road which runs for 12½ miles between Bagshot and Slough. It starts from the primary A322 just north of Bagshot and passes along the side of Royal Ascot Racecourse before passing through the centre of Windsor Great Park. It multiplexes with the A308 through the centre of Windsor before separating and becoming a fast dual carriageway, crossing the River Thames near Eton. North of Windsor, the A332 branches off, with the A355 continuing ahead to meet the M4 at Junction 6. The A332 continues, passing under the M4, towards its terminus at a roundabout with the A4 at Slough.
