Nuthampstead has to be one of the best. It has a nice 800m strip which is 200m from a café/club house for a shooting club and 5 min walk along country tracks to the Woodman Inn Pub.


Nuthampstead was a B-17 base in the war and some of the old airfield still exists. Also the Woodman inn used to be used by the Airman and so is full of wartime flying memorabilia and also has the memorial to the fallen in their Car Park.


The Woodman inn does excellent food as well!


Nuthampstead is located next to the Barkway VOR between Stansted and Luton, approx. 5 mile SE of Royston.
