Finding Us
Cotswold Airport (formerly Kemble Airport) is approx 70 miles west of London. Next to Kemble village, it is about 15 miles NW of Swindon, just to the SW of Cirencester (Gloucestershire), and is right on the edge of the Cotswolds. It is the former home of the Red Arrows and is a typically impressive former military airfield. Hunters, Gnats and Jet Provost fast jets are still flown regularly from Cotswold Airport.

Please note:
Restrictions were placed on access to Cotswold Airport during 2007. Access is now ONLY through the North Gate. You can no longer gain access via South Gate Main Entrance.
From the East (London, M25 etc)
Do not exit at M4 junction 15 as it is easy to get lost and is no faster this way.
Please take the M4 to junction 17, and then follow the A429 north towards Cirencester. After Malmesbury and Crudwell, you will see Cotswold Airport on the left-hand side, however, you will not be able to gain access from this road. Continue on A429 towards Cirencester, past Cotswold Airport, and you will come to Kemble village. Just before the pedestrian crossing traffic lights, turn left. Follow under the bridge to the end of the road. At the T-junction turn left onto the Tetbury road - A433. After about 3/4 mile, you will approach a right hand bend with a small country road turning off to the left (signposted Kemble Airport). Turn into this road and drive to the very end (chain-link fencing in front of you) and you will see the entrance gate to the airport on your right. The large metal gates will be closed. Please drive up close to the gate whereby the security camera will record you car details and open the gates automatically.
Follow the directions From the Airport North Gate below.
From the West or South West
Take the M4 to Junction 17 and follow the directions above.
From the North
There are several options, one of which is to take the M5 to junction 11A and then the A419 to Cirencester. Once at Cirencester, take the A433 Tetbury Road. Follow the A433 towards Tetbury. You will pass under a narrow railway bridge (please take care - this is an accident hotspot), and past The Thames Head pub, on the right. Approximately 1/2 mile further on you will approach a right hand bend with a small country road turning off to the left (signposted Kemble Airport). Turn into this road and drive to the very end (chain-link fencing directly in front of you) and you will see the entrance gate to the airport on your right. The large metal gates will be closed.
