The Winter Garden lights loop — 3 stops

We ordered every display in Winter Garden into the shortest sensible driving loop: roughly 0.3 miles and 13 minutes of driving, before you count time spent parked and looking. Start wherever is closest to you and follow it round.

Driving estimate assumes a 25 mph average on residential streets plus four minutes stopped per display. Straight-line distances with a road-network allowance — treat it as a planning figure, not a satnav route.

Practicalities

Residential displays have no facilities of their own — no parking, no toilets, nowhere to warm up — so it is worth knowing what is around. Within about three miles of the Winter Garden cluster, OpenStreetMap maps 6 public car parks and 3 public toilets. There is no shortage of cafés and takeaways for a hot drink on the way round.
