Diana Princess of Wales

The memorial to Diana, Princess of Wales sits in Lincolnshire, a quiet corner of the East Midlands that doesn't exactly announce itself as a pilgrimage destination. Yet people do make the journey, particularly from nearby Cleethorpes where the holiday parks cluster along the seafront. It's a solemn spot - the sort of place where you'll find fresh flowers more often than not, left by visitors who feel a connection to the story.

What you're looking at is fundamentally a remembrance space rather than a museum or exhibition. The setting is contemplative, designed for reflection rather than spectacle. If you're staying at Haven Cleethorpes Beach Holiday Park, it's close enough to include in a morning's outing without it dominating your day. Families with teenagers who grew up hearing about Diana's life and legacy might find it meaningful; younger children will likely find it underwhelming unless properly contextualised.

The honest assessment: this isn't a destination attraction in itself. You don't plan a holiday around it. But if you're already in Lincolnshire for the beach and the parks, and you want a bit of quiet time away from the arcade noise and chip shops, it serves its purpose. Allow perhaps 20-30 minutes, depending on how long you want to spend in contemplation. Go when it's not heaving with other visitors - a weekday morning beats a bank holiday weekend.

It works as a circuit with other Cleethorpes attractions if you're filling a rainy afternoon.
