It is an old airfield transformed in nature reserve if you not afraid of close up wind turbines. Nice tarmac all around for all sort of activities. They have a bike rent as well. Coffee shop and ice cream. 2 miles of straight (triangle) plane where someone can have a peaceful walk or have a run. There is also plenty of wildlife for photographers with hides and woodland for nature immersed walk.
