WHERE HERITAGE MEETS COMMUNITY

Greenham Common has an amazing history stretching back to medieval times, through the world wars and the cold war. You can learn all about that in The Control Tower, which is run by volunteers who ensure there is always something to see and learn. Have a look at our new control desk.

Come and take a guided tour on a Saturday or Sunday,(booking required) and take in the history and the breath-taking view from the top of the tower.
