Follow the A45 from the airport towards Birmingham City Centre. Eventually you will get to some shops and a big set of traffic lights. Turn right here onto Sheaf Lane, into Sheldon. Follow until you get to a roundabout, where you can turn right. Take the first right onto Elstead Avenue, then at the end just before the cul-de-sac turn left onto Hazeldene Road. Just as the road turns sharp left, there is a little cul-de-sac area on the right, with a looped road. Park somewhere here (DO NOT BLOCK IN THE RESIDENTS, PLEASE PARK CONSIDERATELY). Walk through the entrance into Sheldon Country Park, then turn left. | Follow the A45 from the airport towards Birmingham City Centre.

Alternatively use the car park in Elmdon Lane, Marston Green, adjacent to Marston Green railway station. | |||
The footpath through the park goes right through the approach lights on short final, and you can get good photos of aircraft landing and queuing for takeoff on runway 15. | |||
