👍👍 Interesting place to visit. plenty of benches to sit on. Lots of trash bins, but still not every visitor educated how to use one. There's bycicle stands as well, because many people visit this place by bycicle.

    It was a very amazing place, you can see the planes up close and hear the amazing sounds of the massive pieces of this engineering marvel. The area surrounding the runway is full of nature and paths to explore along, maybe whilst your waiting to see a plane. Sometimes you see massive planes that are truly stunning to the eye, and others, you see smaller, but still, they are all clever designs of technology. Overall, I highly recommend a visit, even if it's only small, you are almost guaranteed to see something amazing, right above your head. It's always a good idea, though, to check the weather as the only shelter is trees where planes are not visible from. So a sunny or cloudy but not rainy day is a good time to visit. Will go again in future to see even more crazy things.

    Right at the end of the main runway..... Great views of take offs today.... Landing over A45 end. Memories of my dad taking me here 60 years ago!! 5 mins walk from Marston Green railway station. Zoom in on photos.

    Amidst the lush green landscape, embracing every corner with the tranquil beauty of a man-made created flying Machine. A good viewing spot in Birmingham to see an aeroplane flying above you :). You can even get luckier to see Airbus 380.

    I must give credit to the local authorities for management, maintaining and providing such a beautiful picnic spot. Myself big fan of aviation as well as my kids too. We always love to see take off and landing which is cool part of flying. Very clean bin are provided. Track is available for walking, jogging and for the dog lover too. When it get busier in summer parking is issue otherwise its okay to park closer. Love to see when Emrates A380 land or depart.

    Busy on weekends and bank holidays. Lovely space to sit and wash planes. There is one single bin that gets over filled. Be sure to bring a blanket as seats are few at weekends. Don't go when it's dark as there are a small manority in the park up to no good. No toilets or facilities available.

    This is a fantastic spot to have a picnic while relishing the sight of planes soaring overhead. I've brought my family here to watch them, and everyone had a blast enjoying the views and the overall experience. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

    An ideal place to visit in the summer, I've seen quite a few people enjoy picnics, walking their dogs or just passing through but there can be some dodgy people about. Ideal for plane spotters if you need a break from the NCP car park!
