Shipdham is on the A1075 Dereham to Watton Road. The road to the airfield, which is signposted, is towards the Dereham end of Shipdham village. Follow the road signs to Shipdham Airfield and turn left off the road through the well marked gateway. Turn left at the end of the access road on to the disused taxi way. Go through a set of gates, past the farm buildings and then through another set of gates. Follow the road gently right past the end of the disused runway and park on the right of the road close to the club house.

Drive slowly - especially past the farm buildings!

The main entrance has a physical height restriction to prevent 'unwanted visitors'. If you are driving anything over the height of a Landrover, please call (01953) 882 187 to arrange for the main gate to be opened.
