Virginia Water is a large village, a lake and, originally, a stream, the village being in the borough of Runnymede in Surrey and the bodies of water stretching over the borders of Runnymede, Old Windsor and Sunninghill and Ascot, all in England.
The village takes its name from the lake which is in the nearby Windsor Great Park. The lake's name was transferred from a previous stream which was probably named after the 'Virgin Queen', Elizabeth I.
