RAF Davidstow Moor, Military air base and museum in Cornwall, England.

The former RAF station stretches across elevated moorland terrain with three expansive runways and multiple aircraft dispersal areas near Camelford.

Constructed in 1942, the base operated under Coastal Command during World War II, conducting anti-submarine patrols and air-sea rescue missions until 1945.

The memorial museum presents extensive collections of World War II artifacts, military equipment, and personal items from Royal Air Force service personnel.

The museum opens throughout the year, offering guided tours, educational programs for schools, and dedicated parking facilities for visitors exploring the grounds.

After its military service, the airfield transformed into Davidstow Circuit, hosting three Formula One races during the early 1950s.
