This postal sector covers the southernmost portion of Windsor, as well as the countryside which surrounds it to the south. Nestled in the woodlands that cover much of the countryside, is the UK’s most visited theme park. The LegoLand Windsor Resort (often styled as LegoLand Windsor) consists of a mixture of Lego-themed rides, models, and building workshops targeted at children between three and twelve. The park is split into 11 themed lands, incorporating various attractions and shops: The Beginning, Duplo Valley, Knight’s Kingdom, Lego City, Miniland, Lego Ninjago World, Pirate Shores, Heartlake City, Kingdom of the Pharaohs, Bricktopia, and Lego Mythica: World of Mythical Creatures. Beyond the confines of the park, this area is criss-crossed by public footpaths which wind their way through the trees and the fields. Windsor’s suburbs also spill out into the northern quarter of this postal sector as roads like Illingworth and Wolf Lane hosting a plethora of postwar detached houses with large front lawns. St Leonard’s hill is perhaps the best example of this portion of metroland however, with the gated community hosting some of the priciest houses in the area.

The Lego Group began searching for a location for the development of a second Legoland park in 1987 to complement the original park which is located in Billund, Denmark. Supposedly, they looked at over 1,000 possible locations before eventually landing on a safari park south of Windsor Castle which had recently gone into administration. Between 1992 and 1994, planning, design, site preparation and the design and construction of models began. In 1995, a scale replica of Big Ben was installed, and the park eventually opened in March of the following year. During its first season, the park attracted over 1.4 million visitors. Barely a decade later in April of 2005, The Lego Group decided to sell all Legoland parks following losses across the company. The Windsor park was acquired by the Blackstone Group who still run the operation to this day.

If you are looking to visit LegoLand there are currently two onsite accommodation options. Legoland Hotel is located at the back of the park in the Adventure land section. The hotel features Lego themed rooms and customers have access to the pirate-themed indoor pool, a treasure hunt in each room, and access to select park attractions before the general public enters the park. The first and second floor are both set up for kids to play and socialise, with large bins of Lego bricks scattered between an array of games consoles. Meanwhile, the Castle Hotel offers fantasy themed rooms which are complete with Wizards and Knights. wizard- and knight-themed rooms. Looking forward, guests should also be able to stay in one of 450 lodges which will be found amongst the trees which surround the park. Dubbed the ‘Woodland Village’ the new development is expected to comprise a mixture of small glamping tents and larger family lodges for guests to return to after a busy day in the park.

Aside from the developments expected to take place in the resort, this area is unlikely to change much in the coming years. Greenbelt restrictions apply to all of the land which surrounds Windsor, so the town is unlikely to expand much beyond St Leonard’s Hill. Equally, villages like Cranbourne and Winkfield are unlikely to grow significantly due to the same greenbelt restrictions.
