Virginia Water (lake)
Lake in Surrey, England
About
Virginia Water lies on the southern edge of Windsor Great Park, in the borough of Runnymede in Surrey and the civil parishes of Old Windsor and Sunningdale in Berkshire, in England. It is a man-made lake taking its name from a natural body of water of the same name. There is a village of Virginia Water which stretches out to the east of the lake. The grounds of the lake, nearby Fort Belvedere, and the Clockcase (a further belvedere dating from c. 1750) are all Grade I listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
The River Bourne supplies water for the lake, it exits the lake at the eastern end after the cascading waterfall. The circuit around the lake is about 4.5 miles (7.2 km), about half of which is paved.
