Template:Infobox England place with map UA Sunningdale is a village in Berkshire, part of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. It is very close to the present border with Surrey, and is not far from Ascot and Virginia Water.
Sunningdale was until 1995 partly in Berkshire and partly in Surrey. The Surrey area of the village, which was locally known as Broomhall, and includes the world-famous golf course, was also split between the boroughs of Surrey Heath and Runnymede. This original arrangement caused problems and was resolved only after much consultation locally between the two county councils, three borough councils and four parish councils.
The Sunningdale Agreement was signed at the Civil Service Staff College (now the National School of Government) on 9 December 1973, part of the Northern Ireland peace process [1].
