Splash and Paddle at Runnymede Pleasure Grounds Splash Pad
Runnymede Pleasure Grounds Splash Pad is on the banks of the River Thames and is a great place to begin a walk along the Thames Path or explore the memorials of Runnymede, including the sealing of Magna Carta.
Runnymede Pleasure Grounds Splash Pad
This refreshing paddling pool is for children to the age of 11 years.
The water is very shallow in most places and deepest in the centre by the cone,
where it came to my mid-calves.
Runnymede Pleasure Grounds
The splash pad is right on the banks of the River Thames, in Runnymede Pleasure Grounds.
It has an expansive field
and huge car park
with a cafe.
Boat Trips
Various boat trips are available up and down the River Thames.
You can also walk along the Thames Path.
The Runnymede Memorials
The water-meadows of Runnymede are where King John sealed Magna Carta in 1215.
There are a number of interesting memorials to discover in the meadows and woodland.
