The Fox and Hounds Pub
The Fox and Hounds is next to Bishops gate of Windsor Great Park, about a mile from the college (20 mins walk). A further 20 minute walk into the Great Park can get you to Smiths lawn in one direction or the "Copper Horse" in the other. The "Copper Horse" is on snow hill which has a view of Windsor and Windsor Castle. The ambitious might like to walk the 3 miles to Windsor Castle down the Long Walk. There is a good pub very near the other end (The Two Brewers). There is a bus from Windsor which passes the college if you dont fancy the walk back.
- More a restaurant then a pub
- Good atmosphere, food and ale
- Right next to Windsor Great Park, Bishops gate, Englefield Green
