Virtual Tour - Farnborough Common

You've made it to the former site of Farnborough Common. Farnborough Common was located to the West of the Farnborough behind the Swan Inn and stretching to the South towards North Camp. Today this area has been transformed into the airfield and the former site of the Royal Aircraft Establishment.

Where to now? Close by is the Swan Inn, the North Gate to the former site of Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) and the Hillside Convent School, with Trenchard House, Castleden Hall and Belgrave House School all near, with the Farnborough Road running in both directions and Netley Street to the South. Pick where you want to go next from the menu on the right.
