2015 marks the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta, the oldest constitutional document in the world. Harvey Watson will be leading a walk and explaining the significance of a site that has been described as “the very soul of England”. A brisk 1 kilometre walk leads to the top of Coopers Hill, where there is the Commonwealth Air Forces Memorial, one of the largest and most impressive memorials to the Second World War to be found anywhere in the British Isles. On the walls of the memorial there are the names of over 20,400 airmen lost on active service over the Atlantic, North Sea, British Isles and North-west Europe, and who have no known grave.

Meet outside the National Trust tea rooms at 10.30am, (post code TW20 0AE).
