Overview

Celebrate 60 years of EM Airport.

A circular walk from the village centre skirting round the former castle then up hill to the airport perimeter with great views across the runway to the airport terminal, past the AeroPark museum and downhill through the village.

Some moderate up hill climbs - one stile - no livestock - sorry no toilets on route
