Runnymede

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Attractive meadows, grassland, and woodland along the banks of the Thames, Runnymede is the site where King John was forced to sign the Magna Carta in 1215. The remains of the 12th century priory of Ankerwycke can be seen across the river, and nearby is the Ankerwycke Yew, thought to be over 200 years old. Here are memorials to John F Kennedy and one erected by the American Bar Association to commemorate the significance of the Magna Carta. A network of footpaths cover the site.
