Cranfield
Cranfield is a Bedfordshire village with a university and an airfield bolted on, so the person behind you in the queue is as likely to be cramming for an exam as walking a dog. Most villages are famous for a church or a pub. Cranfield is famous for a runway, and buyers who came for thatch and birdsong tend to work that out around the first light aircraft.
