Discover Windlesham

Windlesham offers several distinct points of interest for a hotel stay: local history, a circular walk starting at the Church of St John the Baptist, golf and Windlemere SANG. There is also Windlesham Field of Remembrance and a red telephone box now used as a library. When making your choice, it helps to decide first what you would like to focus on: would you like to include historical connections, plan a walk, or base your choice on specific golf details? The topics range from precisely stated course and route details to local memorial sites and a landmark put to a new use.

Church and circular walk

The Church of St John the Baptist was rebuilt using old materials after a fire in 1680. The date refers to the rebuilding after the fire, not to the original construction. A 4.8-mile circular walk starts at the church and takes about two hours. The distance and time estimate help with different aspects of planning: the mileage indicates the length of the route, while the approximate duration gives you a time frame for the outing. This makes it possible to assess the circular walk as a separate activity, while the church also offers a specific historical connection. Route details may change; check the information before setting out.

Golf and Windlemere SANG

Windlesham Golf Club has a par-72 parkland golf course measuring 6,650 yards, with two nine-hole loops. The par, total length and loop layout offer different points of comparison if golf is a focus of your trip. Course details may change, so check the latest visitor information before making plans. Windlemere SANG covers 15 hectares. This area measurement offers a different point of reference from the course length given in yards: here it is the size of the SANG area, while there it is the dimensions of the golf course. This allows two different local topics to be considered using the measurements that suit each one.

Memorial and facilities

Windlesham Field of Remembrance was dedicated to the Windlesham residents who died in the two world wars. Admiral's Field, which is part of the site, has woodland and a pond. The Field also has a children's playground and an outdoor fitness area for visitors. The memorial dedication and the named recreational facilities are different aspects of the same site. If you plan to use the playground or fitness area, check the latest visitor information before your visit, as facilities may change.

Local history and a notable change of use

The red telephone box in the heart of Windlesham village now serves as a library. Its change of use offers a different way to explore local history from the architectural history of the Church of St John the Baptist: in this case, a familiar object was given a new function; in the other, the specific historical event is the rebuilding after a fire in 1680. Windlesham Arboretum was included in Surrey Heath's updated local heritage list. The listing offers yet another connection to the area's heritage. If you take these distinctive features into account when choosing your hotel stay, you can focus on what interests you most.
