Circuit and park

Bentwaters Parks was a RAF airfield, used by the US Air Force 81st Fighter Wing during the cold war. There are historical features, such as hardened aircraft hangers and secure bunkers used for weapons stores. There is also a 40-acre enterprise park.

The main runways - there are two, each 1.3 miles long - are surrounded by access roads and aircraft taxi-ways. Many of these lead off into lovely green areas with grass, trees, and wildlife, which are environmentally protected. If you go off for a picnic, please note that open fires are absolutely prohibited.

When on the site please remember that there is NO access to the buildings, some are used by businesses and some are unsafe. There are also some deep 'ponds' around the site, not all with warning signs, which are potentially dangerous and should be avoided.

There will be some traffic on the base during the event, particularly lorries to some of the business units, we will have advised the businesses on the base to keep an eye out for HPVs. but, when riding, be aware of other traffic.

The main runway is a great shimmering strip of black tarmac, in very good condition, just calling for speeding HPVs.
