Just a small addendum to AerBabe's note about Wycombe Air Park: gliders and powered aircraft do indeed fly opposite circuit directions, but on parallel runways. The gliders normally use the (invisible from the air unless you know it's there) grass strip, and powered aircraft the hard runway. It's still interesting, especially as most of the gliders are non-radio, but not quite as exciting as sharing the same runway would be.
