Just a 10 minute walk from The Island, this iconic 2,500 year old yew tree is steeped in history. According to popular belief, it was beneath this tree that King Henry VIII courted Anne Boleyn, and some reports suggest that he even proposed in its shadow. While Magna Carta is said to have been sealed at Runnymede, there are those who argue that the event actually took place on the other side of the river, perhaps under this very yew. An extended walk from the Yew will take you across National Trust land to the village of Wraysbury. Enjoy refreshments at The George before your return.
