Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Walk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Walk is a 7-mile (11 km) long circular walking trail in London, England, dedicated to the memory of Diana, Princess of Wales. It goes between Kensington Gardens, Green Park, Hyde Park and St James's Park in a figure-eight pattern, passing five sites that are associated with her life: Kensington Palace, Spencer House, Buckingham Palace, St. James's Palace, and Clarence House. It is marked with eighty-nine individual plaques and has been described as "one of the most magnificent urban parkland walks in the world".[1]
The walk was constructed at a cost of £1.3 million. No members of the British Royal Family, even her children, were present at its opening.[2]
