The 22000 lb "earthquake bomb" designed by Sir Barnes Wallis was first tested on Ashley Walk Bombing Range in the New Forest. It remains the largest ever explosion on British soil

Not the largest explosion, as that dubious honour goes to the accidental detonation of ordnance at RAF Fauld on 27 November 1944. The Ashley Walk Grand Slam test however remains to this day the largest live bomb exploded on UK soil.
