Runnymede - Location

Location

Runnymede is located on the banks of the River Thames, and on the A308 road in Egham about 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Windsor. It is about 19 miles (31 km) west of the centre of London. Its historical significance has been heavily influenced by its proximity to the Roman Road river crossing at nearby Staines-upon-Thames. The last fatal duel in England took place in 1852, on Priest Hill, which borders with Runnymede.
