    Farnborough Facts – Did You Know…

    1. Ghostly Monks
      In the 14th century a monastery once stood on the site that later became part of the airfield and hangers. Today office blocks now stand on that part of the site and office workers and locals have reported the sound of monks chanting…!
    2. Napoleon Woz Ere
      Napoleon III was the first President of France and nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte. Young Napoleon had witnessed his uncle sweep into Paris and declare himself ruler. He had similar grand plans but not as much style, when he did march on Paris he and his troops were attacked and force to flee. After a second failed coup (both times he fled to England) he did eventually regain power following the French Revolution and eventually declared himself Emperor of France. It wasn’t a happy ending, losing popular opinion, a war and being imprisoned, he fled to England (again!!) and after his death was buried at St Michael’s Abbey in Farnborough.
    3. High Flyers
      The site of the Army Balloon Factory and later the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough Airfield played a key part in the formation of the RAF and Britain’s technical innovation in flight. The airfield saw the first powered flight in the UK by US showman Samuel Cody (who falsely declared himself the nephew of and styled himself on the famous wild west showman Buffalo Bill Cody). Farnborough hosts one of the UK’s biggest air shows that attracts teams from around the world along with thousands of visitors.
    4. Balloon-atics
      Standing on the site of the old balloon factory is a large arch which formed one of the balloon hangers. The arch was restored and erected as a tribute to the area’s high-flying history. Eagle-eyed TV viewers (and Jeremy Clarkson fans) can spot the arch in an early episode of Top Gear when Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May raced a Porsche, an Aston Martin and a Maserati through Farnborough Business Park.
    5. Stand & Deliver!
      Farnborough sits in an area of countryside that was once prowled by cutthroats, vagabonds and highwaymen. No, we’re not talking about double-glazing and insurance salesmen, this is the real deal. Some of Britain’s most notorious highway robbers have been linked to the area including the most infamous of them all, Dick Turpin.
    6. Tumble Down Dick
      The wonderfully named former pub is nothing to do with the highwayman but a tribute to the son of Oliver Cromwell and England’s second Lord Protector, Richard Cromwell. He wasn’t the formidable political force his father had been and after just nine months in charge (which included his allies in revolt and a threatened mutiny by the entire British army!) he was forced to renounce power. Things went from bad to worse and following the restoration of the monarchy he fled to the continent where he lived most of the remainder of his life in relative obscurity.

    Things to do & see

    Ground zero for the UK’s aviation history, Farnborough is where the first powered flight took place in 1908 so there is no surprise that there is a long history in the area. A trip to Farnborough Air Sciences Trust Museum is definitely the place to uncover this rich history. It is only open on weekends and Bank Holidays so worth planning your visit before exploring where the first high-altitude “space suits”, night vision aids, carbon fibre frames, airborne cameras were developed along with a vast range of other innovations.

    Farnborough town centre offers everything you may need from high street and independent shops to weekly markets and occasional events. They are also a large number of lovely cafes and restaurants to get stuck into.

    If you fancy a quieter stroll, you can enjoy a walk along the beautiful Basingstoke Canal. Although you cannot walk the whole stretch of the towpath to Basingstoke, there are some lovely resting places for a hot drink and bite to eat. You could also pay a visit to one of the area’s large green spaces such as Frimley Lodge Park or Queen Elizabeth Park. Or you can really escape in Hawley Woods, that has walking and cycling paths plus a lake and sailing centre.

    Sports fans are spoilt for choice, the wider area has a huge selection of tennis centres, sports pitches, go-kart tracks, climbing walls, swimming pools, sports clubs and more golf courses than you can wave a mashie-niblick at! If you’re more of a cheerer than a doer, Farnborough has a football club, cricket team rugby club and other clubs and associations.

    In Farnborough you will also find St Michael’s Abbey. Empress Eugénie after the fall of the French Second Emperor Napoleon III commissioned a Benedictine abbey and mausoleum for him in Farnborough. Tours of the Abbey take place at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon to visit to the crypt which holds the granite sarcophagi of Napoleon III, Eugénie and their son the Prince Imperial.
