NORTH CADBURY COURT:   Private combined airstrip and helipad



Note:  The first two pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©. The local area and area view are from my Google Earth © derived database.





Operated by:  The North Cadbury Court Country House Venue










Location:  About 0.5nm WSW of the venue, which is just SW of North Cadbury village, N of the A303. About 1.5nm ENE of Sparkford, 5nm W to WSW of Wincanton town centre and roughly 8.5nm NE of Yeovil town centre

Period of operation:  Unknown exactly? No sign of it in 2001


Runway:  10/28   500   grass

Note:  Listed as being 550 metres, but as a pilot I would say 500 metres max.


BONUS PICTURE













NOTES:  We have to thank Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide' for pointing out this location. Although seeming to be listed as an airstrip and helipad, I would have thought that helicopter pilots would much prefer to deliver their passengers onto the large grass area just south of the venue? Have to wonder how many times the airstrip has been used?

If anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be most welcome.
