RAF HARROWBEER

YELVERTON

Airfield Walks

The Harrowbeer Interest Group are happy to take groups on guided walks of the airfield at weekends and on summer evenings. These must be booked in advance by emailing us on the usual address. (see contact page)

We also offer regular opportunities for 'public' walks when we take our displays to the Harrowbeer Weekends organised by Knighstone Tea Rooms. See local press for details, or just keep an eye on this website for updates.

The walk is a leisurely stroll around the airfield's remains, during which we tell the story of how RAF Harrowbeer came into being and recounting some of the exploits of the Squadrons stationed here. We explain what all the building bases were used for using archive pictures whenever possible. Anecdotes about the lives and deeds of the Station's personnel are recalled to make this an entertaining and informative afternoon's walk.

Recommended clothing will of course depend on the weather, and you should prepare as for any walk on the moors. Generally though, as long as you have comfortable footwear (which obviously needs to be waterproof in bad weather) and showerproof clothing you will be fine. Rain/hail/snow doesn't usually deter us either - if you want to walk, so do we!

Incidentally, I tried to create some walks which could be downloaded and printed off, but this has proved to be too time-consuming. So for now I have abandoned the idea.
