The other side of Old Bawtry Road provides better views of aircraft landing and departing on runway 20, although parking can be fairly limited as the car park area has now been blocked off. | The other side of Old Bawtry Road provides better views of aircraft landing and departing on runway 20 or runway 02, although parking can be fairly limited as the car park area has now been blocked off. | ||
To access this location, go back to the roundabout previously mentioned and take the exit signposted Finningley. Once you are in the village, the road bends round to the left, keep following the road until you see the “The Harvey Arms” pub, and turn down the street to drive past it (also called Old Bawtry Road). Keep driving down this road and you will come to several gaps in the hedges where cars park up to the fence to watch the activity. A few lay-bys are also available for cars to park. You can then walk down the road, past the large blocks and further down the path you will come to a raised mound with some blocks to stand on, allowing you to be above the fence. | To access this location, go back to the roundabout previously mentioned and take the exit signposted Finningley.

At this location there is only space for 3 spotters so if something special or important is arriving or departing it is advised to arrive earlier to get a space, otherwise shooting through the fence is the only option. | ||
