One not really unforgotten but definitely little known is Wisley Airfield [0], right beside the A3 heading into London. Came across it one day on a long bicycle trip, while I suddenly found myself in the middle of a mile-long runway. There are footpaths and a bridleway across it, so it's easily accessible. It also has the interesting feature of armco strips across it, which I think are to stop people from using it for impromptu drag races.
