Local Attractions

Steeple Morden and the surrounding villages themselves are steeped in history, the Museum in neighbouring village Ashwell provides a well of information relating to the area, its farming and brewing histories in particular. In fact, the village of Ashwell at one time was able to boast some 37 ale houses! In Steeple Morden no less than 8 eight ale houses survived into the 1950’s, but now only the Waggon and Horses remains.

The disused R.A.F. airfield is a popular point of interest to visitors to Steeple Morden. Opened in 1938 and covering 175 acres of land, the airfield was used by the 355th Fighter Group of the USAF. In February 1942 an unusual event occurred, when a German JU -88 Bomber, thinking they were over France, crash landed at the airfield. The crew were quickly captured and taken to Bassingbourn for interrogation. Connections with the 355th still exist, with regular visits by former squadron members to the School and the local Scout Group, whose Venture Unit was linked to the 355th and carries its flash on their uniform.




Walking
For those who like to take in an area on foot, there are well documented walks, and maps have been created by keen local walkers for the pleasure of others.

The Waggon and Horses regularly hosts walks by Ramblers Associations and Clubs, offering an ideal meeting point with a warm welcome and tasty lunch on return!
