Did you know

During World War II, Virginia Water Lake was drained, as its obvious shape provided enemy guidance at night to Windsor and other important military targets in the area.

The 100 foot Canadian Totem Pole which you pass along the walk was carved by Mungo Martin, Henry Hunt, and Tony Hunt Sr., commemorating the centenary of British Columbia.

The prominent Cumberland Obelisk was constructed in honour of the Duke of Cumberland, son of King George II.
