The former aerodrome lies just to the west of the village of Yatesbury in open countryside.
It is about 7 km (4m) east of Calne. The main group of buildings is about 1 km (0.75m)
north of the A4 trunk road between Calne and Avebury. To the south of the A4, Cherhill
Down rises steeply allowing long distance views over the surrounding countryside. The
North Wiltshire Rivers Route, a long distance footpath and part of the National Cycle
Network, runs along the northern boundary of the site. Access is via Jugglers Lane and a
local access road from a junction on the A4. The aerodrome lies within the North Wessex
Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
