Entrance gates to ex Woodhall Spa airfield
After the airfield went into disuse it was turned into a gravel and sand quarry. the pits flooded and it is now a nature reserve. Advertised thus "As a nature reserve it is a haven for wildlife as well as a place where visitors can share in the unique and peaceful atmosphere of this former airfield." Except when it's locked and you can't get in at 10 o'clock on a Sunday morning!
