My nearest is Treligga (HMS Vulture 11) approx 1/2 mile away on the cliffs overlooking Port Isaac Bay and RAF Davidstowat at about 4 miles as the crow flies, the highest WW2 operational airfield in the UK.

Thurleigh
Twinwood
RAE Bedford
Chelveston
Podington
Alconbury
Molesworth

My nearest is RAF Dunsfold 3 miles away. Hangs on just thanks to Top Gear and,dare I say it,rich stock broker types who keep fighting off plans to build 2500 homes on the site.I am convinced that one day these plans to build will go through.
