MY BABA’s Finding A PeterHyde ParkPan’s Trail Shadow By Nanny Anita
To Start: This trail begins at the Albert memorial in Kensington Gardens opposite the Royal Albert Hall.
Peter Pan has long been a subject of wonder for children the world over and luckily for us the story begins in the heart of London.. Good luck young explorers in finding him and his fairy friends, but be warned, don’t do as Peter did and stay in the park after the gates close as you may find yourself as a new lost boy or girl in Neverland!
• Start at the Albert Memorial and then head into Kensington Gardens via the walkway directly behind the memorial. • Follow the pathway straight down until you reach a statue with 6 different pathways coming off of it. • You want to take the 2nd one on the right, this pathway quickly divides into 2 different paths, take the smaller one which is lined neatly with trees that look like they would be good homes for fairies. • Carry on along the path until you reach the River then turn left. • In a clearing you will find a magical statue of a well- known little boy. You will also be able to feed the ducks in the river if you bring some bread. • Follow the path along the side of the river until you reach the Italian Gardens, the perfect place to rest feet and enjoy an ice cream. • If your little lost boys and girls still have plenty of energy then head over to Neverland in the Diana Memorial Playground. It is located in the left hand corner of the park and is signposted.
