How Do I get from Langton House to the Olympic Rowing Lake?
The easy way will be get to the Windsor Race Course and then use the newly built foot bridge to walk over the Thames and into the Rowing complex. This is how the organisers want you to get there because access from the other side of the Thames is rather limited.
To get from Langton House to the Race Course it is a 25 minute walk or a 5 minute drive - but who knows what the traffic conditions will be like on the day? Its an easy walk or a pleasant cycle (if you bring a bike...)
Terms and Conditions:-

Olympic Cancellation policy
Our Olympic cancellation policy is a minimum of 2 weeks notice before the arrival date, (not arrival time) for a 50% refund.

-------------------------------------
As our Olympic Athletes return from a great Beijing 2008 Olympic games on 25 August 2008, we have been wonderfully entertained by our fantastic athletics who have amassed 47 medals leaving us 4th in the medal table with 19 Gold, 13 Silver and 15 Bronze. The best medals haul in 100 years and a fantastic based to continue through to the 2012 London games.
Well done to all our athletes, whether you gained a medal or not, this county is truly proud of your achievements and we look forward to an even bigger and better games in 2012.
-------------------------------------
The first years anniversary of London wining the 2012 Olympics was held on July 6th 2006. Events were held in London to mark this celebration as it was cut short in 2005 by the tragic events in London on July 7th 2005 when 4 suicide bomber killed 52 people in London. This year the winning of the 2012 Olympics was at last celebrated in a fashion more befitting the gaining of this massive and impressive event for London.
The 2012 Olympics will bring the Rowing to the Dorney Rowing lake
which is very close to Windsor. Recently this location has hosted
the 2005 Rowing World Cup very successfully and is where the training
for the Great Britain Rowing squad is held. The facilities are
without a doubt first class and equal to any other facilities
around the world.
With the 2006 Rowing World Championships being
held at the Dorney Rowing lake it is expected to attract over
1,000 athletes from 60 nations and more than 40,000 spectators
to Dorney Lake, the London 2012 Olympic venue, between 20th – 27th
August 2006. There were buses shuttling visitors from Windsor
over to the rowing lake as well as a park and ride based at
the Windsor Race Course were you could then get a boat straight
over the Thames river to the rowing lake.
With the good form showing with our athletes in the Commonwealth Games 2006 we have a strong base to build on for the European Championships later in 2006.
More information on the event and he local impact will be added to this page as it becomes available.
The rowing lake had been hurrying to finish the return lake before the 2006 World Rowing Championship started in August 2006. This is an integral part of the facilities and will definitely improve the organisation of the event.
Currently the lake is being used for many additional events including running and Triathlon events.
The main comment to come out of the large event that have been held at the Dorney rowing lake so far is that due to the relative youth of the facility the wind does effect the course and in particular the outside lanes more. This should be much better by 2012 Olympics as the trees planted around the facility should be much larger by then.
If you require any accommodation, please contact Langton House who will be glad to help.
