The airport is what brings most people to Gatwick, but why not see what else the area has to offer?
Spread your wings at Gatwick Aviation Museum
To get you in the mood for flying, check out this aviation museum next to the airport. Get up close to British aircraft built between the end of World War Two and the 1970s, including the Hawker Sea Hawk and Avro Shackleton. The museum isn't open every day though, so check the times before you visit.
Go ape in Tilgate Park
Just a 10-minute drive from the airport is this vast park with picturesque lakes, perfectly manicured lawns and gardens bursting with colour. It's a lovely place to spend time relaxing or getting active. The woodlands and bridleways make it ideal for hiking and horse riding.
