Cranleigh flying sites
Note: This map only shows an area roughly 0.5nm south of Vachery Pond.
CRANLEIGH see also RYDINGHURST FARM
CRANLEIGH: Private airstrip
Location: About 2nm E of DUNSFOLD and 0.5nm S of Vachery Pond
Period of operation: ?
NOTES: Long grass runway and hangar reported seen here.
A long search of Google Earth failed to find any evidence of this. However, I think these references are to BAYNARD'S PARK which is SE of Vachery Pond.
The problem being that in researching this 'Guide' I cannot take this for granted. Private airstrips crop up nearly everywhere in England especially, sometimes only used for a year or two. Plus of course many light aircraft and microlights do not need a prepared strip - just a suitably level field.
If anybody familiar with the area can offer advice, this will be most welcome.

We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
