HISTORY of the ROYAL PALACE: Steeped in history, Cedar Park was once the site of Theobalds Palace, a favoured residence of James I when outside London. Queen Elizabeth I also visited Theobalds many times during her reign.
In 1625 James I died at Theobalds Palace. His son Prince Charles was then proclaimed King Charles I at the palace gates. In 1642 at the start of the Civil War, King Charles I received the petition from Parliament at Theobalds which ultimately ended in 1649 when Charles was executed in London and much of Theobalds Palace was demolished on a piecemeal basis over many years.

Give up the city streets for a day and breathe some fresh air. Improve your overall fitness levels, whilst chatting to new people during the walk and socialising afterwards in a pub.

Social Event:
Our walks are social walks, where the emphasis is on meeting new people, enjoying nature, healthy exercise, and fresh air. Our walks are not interrupted with running commentaries or historical lectures, although occasionally features of significance may be pointed out. As such our walks will be continuous with few stops and it is your responsibilty to keep walkers ahead in view and to follow the direction of the walk. We always end the walk at a pub where the socialising can continue.

Take this opportunity to visit green parts of London, unknown to most people.

COST of EVENT:
All of the walks on this group are only £5 each to attend. Payment is not collected before the day of the event to allow you maximum flexibility. Why pay more on other groups for overpriced walks with no afterwalk socialising!!
