It is notable for its association with the sealing of [[Magna Carta]], and as a consequence is, with its adjoining hillside, the site of memorials. [[Runnymede (borough)|Runnymede Borough]] is named after the area, Runnymede being at its northernmost point. [[File:RunDiag18.png|thumb|upright=1.2|Map of Runnymede area: north-west is to the top]]
