On descending to Luton Airport.

My daughter flew from Edinburgh to Luton with Squeezyjet.
On first descending on the approach to Luton, there was what at first seemed to be a disused airfield but was probably a 'stately home' with well-manicured lawns and a 'circular' feature. I didn't see it so I'm describing it according to what I was told.
I guessed that it could be Woburn Abbey, but, having shown her the region and detail of Woburn on Wikipedia I have been told 'no cigar'.
I have also suggested Millbrook Proving Ground, but I'm told that there were 'well-manicured lawns' which suggests a more domestic location and not an industrial site.
Can anyone (perhaps even a regular Sqeezyjet pilot?) suggest what my daughter might have seen? I realise that I cannot define the specific area, but, as I stated, it was on their first descent from 'high' altitude . . .
I'm guessing that it would be Northamptonshire - ish (or maybe even Cambridgeshire?).
