On arrival, we will visit the Control Tower where we will get panoramic views of Greenham Common and beyond to the North Hampshire Downs. A volunteer will give us a potted history of the common and it’s heritage, including a vital role it played for D day, the nuclear bunker and US airbase, the Peace Women and the filming of Star Wars. We will then continue with a walk around the site to view some of the landmarks and wildlife that has become established since the runway was removed. These include lapwing and woodlark.
There is a café and toilets at the beginning and end of the walk.
