Thames Valley

Classic Windsor Loop

The classic Thames Valley cycling route to Windsor and back

Key Route Details

  • Distance: 74km
  • Elevation Gain: 290m
  • Start/Finish: The Coppernose Café, Hampton Court, London
  • Highlights: Windsor Great Park
  • Terrain: Flat

The Classic Windsor Loop cycling route is a longstanding favourite of London Dynamo riders. The route out to Windsor is a rolling one, starting just south of the river before crossing at Walton-on-Thames.

After Chertsey the route heads into some leafy lanes, before bearing north through Windsor Great Park and on into central Windsor.  

The route back is much more direct and with the wind probably at your back offers the chance for some fast sustained riding. 

Suggested café: The Cinnamon Café, Windsor Royal Station (44km).
