Houses, Oakley
Oakley is the road name of a small isolated housing estate off Oldwich Lane East – perhaps former County Council rural housing or built for the servicemen based at the adjacent Honiley airfield.

Landscaping of a vehicle proving ground, Honiley
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) have gone to great lengths to prevent views into the redeveloped proving ground and of the track itself, although it can be clearly seen in satellite photos https://wtp2.appspot.com/wheresthepath.htm?lat=52.363816&lon=-1.661831&lz=14&rz=17<=OS&rt=satellite&lov=None&rov=None&lgrat=UK1000&rgrat=UK1000 This view is through a rare gap in the boundary hedge of a neighbouring meadow traversed by a public footpath. The test track is beyond the high bank, itself behind a high security fence, soon to be concealed by a planted tree screen. The lifebelt suggests a moat or a surface water lagoon. There is a metre-high mesh fence below the camera. The site was formerly a World War II airfield.
