Old Gates to Ascot Race Course
These gates are at the eastern end of the course on a track known as the Old Mile which is now no longer used.
The gates don't appear to have been opened for some time, but are still in reasonable condition.

The Winning Post?
I don't know for sure what this is or was. It's beside the footpath which runs along the south side of the old mile race track at Ascot.
It's near the end, so it might have been a marker for the finish of the race, literally The Winning Post.
The race track is no longer used but is kept mown as a sort of long lawn. The path beside it, now part of the Three Castles Walk, is quite secluded behind trees as you see here.

Cascade Marsh Silwood Park
This fine swampland, flanking the Red Brook (named for the rusty colour of the water caused by the profusion of iron bacteria) is seriously invaded by Skunk Cabbage (Lysichiton americanus) here in leaf in mid-season (the spectacular yellow flowers are over by the end of April)
