At the eastern end of Windsor Great Park, Virginia Water Lake is a 200‑acre artificial lake created in the 18th century. Along its southern shore stands a 100‑ft (30 m) totem pole carved from a single red cedar and presented to Queen Elizabeth II by the government of British Columbia in 1958. The totem depicts mythical creatures and tribal symbols of the Kwakwaka’wakw people and commemorates the centenary of British Columbia joining Canada. Nearby attractions include the Cascade waterfall and the classical ruins of Leptis Magna. Visitors stroll a 5.25‑mile circuit around the lake, taking in woodlands, ornamental plantings and wide lawns.
