Sunningdale Tourist Information
Once part of the parish of Old Windsor, Sunningdale is a large village close to the Surrey border. Like neighbouring Ascot, Sunningdale is known for its magnificent displays of trees and shrubs, particularly banks of rhododendrons.
Prince William, Duke of Cumberland ( the son of George II ) lived in the area and is commemorated by an obelisk in Windsor Great Park.
Sunningdale and nearby Wentworth are famous as the location of a superb golf courses, which stage major championships, and always popular.
The village, lying 24 miles west of London, is also known as the location of the Sunningdale Agreement. Signed at the Civil Service Staff College (now the National School of Government) at Sunningdale Park in 1973, this attempted to solve the troubles in Northern Ireland by forcing the nationalists to share power with the unionists. However, Unionist opposition, Provisional IRA violence and a loyalist general strike caused the collapse of the agreement in 1974.
