===Runway 15 End===


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. The footpath 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.

Alternatively use the car park in Elmdon Lane, Marston Green, adjacent to Marston Green railway station.
