Great Park reopens after foot-and-mouth scare

Windsor Great Park is to reopen after its closure during the second foot-and-mouth outbreak in Surrey.

The public will be able to visit all areas of the park, including the Long Walk, Deer Park, Valley Gardens and Virginia Water, from Tuesday, the Crown Estate said.

The Savill Building visitor centre and the Savill Garden reopened last month.

The estate was first closed in early September following the discovery of a second wave of cases of foot-and-mouth close to the Great Park.

The majority of the park was included in the 10km surveillance zone which was set up after infection was confirmed on a farm in Egham, Surrey, on September 12 - just days after the country was declared foot-and- mouth free.
