What a wonderful way to discover Runnymede’s amazing history! Deborah’s audio tour brought the story of the Magna Carta , the Kennedy connections and this beautiful stretch of the Thames to life in a way I hadn’t expected. Her beautifully modulated and engaging narration made the historical details easy to follow, and her local knowledge added great personal touches you wouldn’t get from a guidebook. The pacing was perfect for a relaxed walk, giving plenty of time to take in the surroundings between stories. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a richer understanding of this historic site — Deborah clearly has a real passion for the area, and it shows.

A great trip to the Magna Carta Memorial
This self guided tour was very informative. It was very clear and concise.
The information of history was told in an interesting way so you didn't get bored. As ain an interesting way so you didn't get bored. As a Windsor girl. I didn't know some of the precise history around the Magna Carta and other monuments that are noted in this self guide.
I would definitely and wholeheartedly recommend this guide.
