Tadcaster MFC Flying Field

Our flying site is located a little north of the village of Wighill which in turn lies 3.0 miles north of Tadcaster.
Access is gained via a private gated tarmac road from the centre of Wighill.

The site enjoys a beautiful rural setting and comprises of a closely mown 60m diameter circle with guarded pit area. The circular nature of the patch ensures that we can always take-off into wind irrespective of its direction.
