A former wartime airfield, originally a grass airstrip, the runway was converted to tarmac in 1952 and used to test aircraft built at Weybridge by Vickers. Flying ceased in 1973 because the runway was too short for large aircraft and was too close to Heathrow. All the structures on the site were removed, except for the runway.

It's a shame that they have segmented this with barriers to stop cars but it's a great place to ride.
