Today Runnymede is an ideal place to relax outdoors, or to pause and reflect on the history of the struggle for freedom. As well as a monument to the democratic legacy of the Magna Carta, you'll find further memorials to John F. Kennedy and the Commonwealth Air Forces, and a unique installation by artists Hew Locke and Mark Wallinger. Within easy reach of the M25, this peaceful river scenery is home to rolling hills, open meadows and a variety of wildlife. Enjoy a picnic, take in the views, ride your bike along the riverbank or bring your dog on one of our waymarked countryside walks. On the other side of the Thames you'll find Ankerwycke, a hidden gem with secrets to discover among the woods and fields.
If you are National Trust member, parking here is excellent. It's a a long skinny park that you can have a walk with your dog or cycling. It's great historic place!
We spend a lovely 2-3 hours exploring this beautiful spot. Firstly, it is a National Trust site (parking free for members), for the rest pay and display. Plenty of parking. Entry to the rest ofnthe site is free and well sign posted. Cafe and toilets on site. We walked up through Coopers Woods (a gorgeous walk) to the Air Forces memorial. We nearly skipped this... DON'T, it is 100% worth the beautiful walk. My fitbit logged 27 flights of stairs, but it was fairly gentle going, although sensible shoes required!
There are displays inside the wicker statues, all very educational and a nice walk. It's the usual National Trust cafe on site and free parking for NT card holders, but you will need the card.
Another area free to enter, the car park is free if you are a National Trust member. What an amazing historic place. I loved the various sculptures. The history is incredible. The most amazing for me was the 'Writ of Water'. I loved the walk around the area and watching the boats on the Thames. I had an amazing flapjack on the tearoom.
Runnymede is a beautiful area down by the River Thames, local to Egham. Easy walking, plenty of parking and a National Trust Cafe.
I was lucky enough to visit this place they sight to commerate where the Magna Carta was signed. For me, it was about the journey, but it was nice to see everything in the area. I cycled along the thames, hung out in the park, and then found the little plaque that commerated the 800th year anniversary placed by the Queen in 2015. Then, to the JFK memorial on top of the hill, even the coffee shop was cool. It was a really lovely day just outside the M25.
