Route Overview

This walk follows the Northern and Southern Taxiways of the old airbase which would have been used by the huge B47 bomber planes. From the taxiways the remnants of the heathland, a haze of purple heather and yellow flowering gorse, can be seen.

Grassland areas intensively mown by the MOD have also developed into spectacular wildflower meadows.
