Low Farm Airstrip

The specific reason for the closure is not publicly documented. As a small, private airstrip on farmland, the closure was almost certainly due to a private decision by the landowner. Common reasons for such closures include the owner ceasing flying activities, the sale of the property, the cost and effort of maintenance becoming prohibitive, or a desire to return the land fully to agricultural use. There is no evidence of military conversion, major accidents, or regulatory action forcing the closure.

The site has been fully returned to agricultural use. The land where the runway was located is now part of the surrounding farmland, used for grazing or growing crops like hay. On recent satellite imagery, the faint, straight outline of the former runway is still visible due to soil compaction and different vegetation growth, but it is no longer maintained as an aviation surface. The associated farm buildings and a possible hangar remain, but are used for agricultural purposes.

Low Farm Airstrip was a private, unlicensed General Aviation (GA) airfield. Its significance was purely local, serving as a base for the landowner and potentially other local pilots for recreational flying. The single grass runway (approximately 550 meters) was suitable for light single-engine aircraft, such as Pipers, Cessnas, and microlights. It had no scheduled services, flight schools, or military history; its function was solely as a private facility for personal aviation.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Low Farm Airstrip. The land is actively farmed, and reactivating a closed private airfield is a complex process requiring the landowner's intent and investment. Given its closure for several years, the likelihood of it returning to aviation use is considered extremely low to non-existent.
