Runnymede

A day out on Sunday found us about 3 miles outside of Windsor at Runnymede. Famous for being the site where the Magna Carta was signed. On the other side of the meadow from the memorial, the Thames runs by and you can see the planes taking off from Heathrow. A bit different than the scene back in the 1200's!

We had a nice walk around the memorials here, then walked along the river. The river seemed a bit high and fast-moving. We saw a poor little duck trying to make it from one side to the other, but he just drifted by sideways, unable to fight the current.

A stop at the nice little cafe for a light lunch, then off to Windsor Castle for scootering down the long walk.
