Runnymede, Historical garden in Surrey, United Kingdom.
The water meadow along the River Thames includes green walking paths, native trees, monuments, and landscaped gardens within 180 acres of grassland.
King John sealed the Magna Carta at Runnymede in June 1215, establishing fundamental rights and becoming a cornerstone of constitutional and parliamentary development.
The Magna Carta Memorial, designed by Edward Maufe in 1957, stands as a classical domed structure supported by eight columns representing justice.
Visitors can reach Runnymede via the M25 motorway, with designated parking areas near the memorials and tea room facilities for refreshments.
The Kennedy Memorial at Runnymede features a stone inscribed with words from President Kennedy's inaugural address, surrounded by magnitude steps.
