Just to confuse things most of the roads are the same. In the older section there are North Close, South Close and West Close. These are in the north, west and south. Instead of East Close there is a new section of the base which stretches from South Close to Danesfield School. These roads are called Kings Wood, Thames Reach, Chestnut Close, Buckingham Gate and Shelley CloseOther Features
