Ahh that delight of England, Farnborough....

Ok, I jest.

The main attraction as has been mentioned is the historic link with
Aviation.
However there is a gem that gets overlooked 99.99% of the time.
This gem of a place is Farnborough Abbey.

www.farnboroughabbey.org

The resting place of Emperor Napoleon III of France, his wife & son. A
small Benedictine Monastery right in the heart of Farnborough.
Open 3-4 on Saturdays for guided tours and they also sell the most
wonderful free range eggs.
Also open 1st Sunday in the month at 3pm for Organ Recitals. They have
one of the finest church organs in the country and people come from all
over the world to play it.

There, and you all thought Farnborough was a boring place.
As for Aldershot... <censored>

Only joking.
