Stanmore Country Park

Description

Between 1939 and 1963 Stanmore was an RAF camp where pilots did their basic training, providing accommodation for 3500 recruits and 800 staff. The only original building now remaining is the boiler house chimney stack, which now forms part of the RAF memorial to those killed during the Second World War. Nowadays, Stanmore provides a beautiful woodland setting with open grassy areas and developing scrub habitat, brimming with wildlife. The site has an excellent network of pathways, which are all on level ground, making the park accessible to pushchairs and wheelchairs users alike. There is a picnic area near to the main free car park, large, easily accessed kissing gates (RADAR key operated for additional width clearance) and some of the main paths have been resurfaced to improve access around the site.
