Duxford

Part of the Imperial War Museum, Duxford Aviation Museum is Europe's premier aviation heritage complex, with an outstanding collection of 200 historic aircraft, more than 60 of which are in airworthy condition. First World War bi-planes join with the Lancaster, Concorde, Gulf War jets and the SR-71 Blackbird spyplane in this extraordinary collection, which is located on a former key Battle of Britain airfield.

The American Air Museum, where many of the aircraft are suspended as if in flight, is part of this terrific place, and the centrepiece of this part of the complex is a B-29A Suprefortress, the only example of its kind outside the United States. Major air shows take place several times a year, and among the permanent features are a reconstructed wartime operations room, a hands-on exhibition for children, and a dramatic land warfare hall with tanks, military vehicles and artillery. Everyone should take time to see this marvellous show - and it should be much more than a flying visit! But it can actually be just that, as Classic Wings offer visitors the chance to fly over Duxford in an elegant 1930s de Havilland Rapide. Next to the green, the Church of St John features many striking wall paintings and some exquisite carvings.

At nearby Hinxton, a few miles further south, is another mill: a 17th-century water mill that is grinding once more.
