Dog Friendly Airfields

Can anyone recommend airfields in the UK where 'flying in' dogs are welcome and there are country walks without going miles or crossing main roads etc?

Dogs and Pups are always welcome where I fly from.
If you google dogging you can find somewhere more appropriate if that floats your boat.

Chilbolton (whilst we're still there - a chap used to fly with his dog down from WW regularly and take it for a walk), I'm pretty sure Popham is no problem, ditto Sandown with public footpaths going through the airfield.

Shobdon - plenty of walks nearby. Halfpenny Green - Highgate Common is about one mile up the road and loved by walkers and dogs alike.
Definitely NOT Sherburn in Elmet.

Turweston has a few regular visitors that fly in with there dogs some nice walks in the area of the airfield a small lake if they fancy a swim and Tracey from the cafe will always cook an extra sausage for the k9 visitors
