The small village of Virginia Water takes its name from the nearby Virginia Water Lake which was created in 1746 by the Duke of Cumberlandand which lies within the boundaries of Windsor Great Park. Ostensible destroyed by flooding in 1768 the construction of the current much larger lake was started in 1780 and included an artificial waterfall and obelisk pond, both still present today. The lake provides an idyllic environment to walk or cycle around with around half of the route paved.
With good rail links into Central London (Waterloo) the village itself is perhaps best known for the private Wentworth Estate, which incorporates the famous Wentworth Golf club, and which is popular with celebrities including most notably Sir Bruce Forsyth. The houses are mainly large and detached although there are some flats and smaller houses. There is small selection of shops in the village and a couple of good schools.
