RAF Yatesbury Wiltshire. Abandoned & Creepy Place. The Oldest Airfield In Europe

RAF Yatesbury
First opened as an aerodrome in World War I, RAF Yatesbury continued operations in the interwar years before again taking on a major role in World War II. From 1936 onwards RAF Yatesbury and RAF Compton Bassett were major Radio and Radar Training Schools, RAF Townsend a satellite landing ground and RAF Cherhill was part No 27 Group, in Headquarters Technical Training Command. It was the oldest airfield in the whole of Europe and is the only airfield in the world that is still is such good condition. In the village church there are reminders of its military past, with a small number of war graves from both major conflicts.
After closure, the Radar and Wireless training school transferred to RAF Locking. The aircraft hangars and airfield, although now farmland, can still be seen from the A4. The buildings, site and surrounding area were featured in the video to the 1988 No.1 hit song Doctorin' the Tardis by The Timelords.

The London Countryway: Sunningdale To Windsor 25 March 2016

The London Countryway is a 205 mile long distance footpath that encircles Greater London. This is the wonderful 9 mile stretch of the Countryway between Sunningdale and Windsor. The walk goes across Colworth Park before entering Windsor Great Park and going alongside Virginia Water to the Totem Pole. Then the walk goes through the Cumberland Gate to reach to Copper Horse statue of King George III which is at the end of the famous Long Walk. The final 3 miles of the walk follows the Long Walk into Windsor town centre with great views of Windsor Castle. The walk took place in gloriously sunny weather on Friday 25 March 2016.

Other Walks: Devizes (Horton Bridge) to Pewsey, Part 2. 4/10/10.

Part 2 takes the walker on along the White Horse Trail for several more miles before descending to the picturesque village of Oare. Then, it's fairly level walking across meadows back to Pewsey.
