100 000 Royal Fans, well-wishers and spectators came at the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at Windsor Castle. The State Entrance, where Heads of State and official guests of The Queen enter the Castle.  From here, all visitors are able to enjoy the spectacular view of the Long Walk, created by Charles II.   It is a view that perfectly encapsulates the grandeur of the Castle and the beauty of its setting within the Great Park. A dramatic first impression is exactly what Charles II intended when he created the Long Walk between 1683 and 1685. As part of a major programme of improvements to the Castle, the King restored Windsor's Great Park, which had been divided and sold off by Parliamentarians during the Civil War. By planting trees, taking land out of arable use and bringing in over 500 deer from Germany and Richmond Park, he turned the land south of the Castle back into a great royal hunting forest. To connect the Castle and the Great Park, he ordered a ruler-straight avenue of four rows of elms stretching for two and a half miles. https://www.royalcollection.org.uk/about/future-programme/news-and-features/the-long-walk-at-windsor-castle#/
