About Updown Hill
The walk up Updown Hill, near Windsor in Bracknell Forest, takes you to one of the highest points in the area - which is saying something in these parts. It's not dramatic, but it's proper rewarding. From the top you get views across the Thames Valley and on a clear day you can pick out some decent landmarks.
This is a straightforward ramble rather than a serious hike. The route through Bracknell Forest works well if you've got kids in tow or you're just after a gentle few hours away from the car parks. The woodland around it is pleasant enough, though nothing that'll stop you in your tracks. You're looking at maybe an hour or so to get up and back down without pushing it.
Walkers benefit most from Updown Hill, especially those doing a loop through the forest. If you're caravan-hopping in the area - Warfield Park is the obvious base at 5.1 miles away and gets decent reviews - this slot in nicely as a morning's exercise before heading to somewhere more obviously touristy like Windsor proper.
It's free to access and you can turn up whenever suits you. The ground gets boggy after rain, so pick your moment. Families wanting hills with actual views might find it a touch underwhelming, but as a leg-stretcher between the caravan and a pub lunch, it does the job.
