The Acre dates back to the Middle Ages and was the place where ordinary townsfolk would meet where markets and fairs were permitted in Windsor by its Charters. Until 1855 the Acre was the site for the famous Annual Revel that was held on the birthday of the Sovereign.

Bachelors Acre includes part of the original Acre Grave Yard, which is located alongside Madeira Walk and where some of the memorial stones are still legible today.

The area was refurbished in 1998 and a water feature which has jets of water rising at different times and heights was introduced.

Please contact Windsor Leisure Centre for information regarding the water feature.
