No great welcome at Maggotts Farm Although the gate is open, this end-of-the-road farm deters callers with two signs: "Private Property No Admittance" and "Notice Keep Out". I'll be dropping by for coffee, then. Not.

So what do you expect from an old airfield? One of many, many in Suffolk and Norfolk, this area was an airfield in the Second World War.  Now restored as farmland, it still bears some of the cleared open feeling it must have had then.
