Magna Carta Island
Magna Carta Island is an island in the River Thames, adjoining the water meadows at Runnymede, but in the English county of Berkshire. It was formerly in the county of Buckinghamshire. It is one of several contenders for the actual location where, in 1215, King John sealed the Magna Carta. Whilst the charter itself indicates Runnymede by name, it is possible the island may have been considered part of Runnymede at the time.
