The Fishing Temple, Virginia Water
In this area King George IV had a 'Fishing Temple' erected, essentially an ornate tented pavilion designed by Frederick Crace. It remained a focus for royal picnic parties until it was replaced in 1867 by a 'Swiss Chalet'. This was demolished in 1936.

Windsor Great Park
An area of heather and a lone pine to the east of the main access road to the Polo Grounds, acting as a reminder that large tracts of Windsor Great Park were formerly lowland heath before they were landscaped and improved in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Virginia Water, Fishing Temple
Just to the left of centre of this view across the lake at Virginia Water there is a set of steps, with a boat tied alongside it. These once led to the 'Fishing Temple' which was built in 1825 by Sir Jeffry Wyatville as a retreat for King George IV. It was demolished in 1867.
