What Airfield Nearest Trentham Lakes ST4 Stoke on Trent
Hi
Visiting a company Near Trentham Lakes on Friday of this week. As I am not familiar with this area any advice on what is the best / available airfields closest to Trentham Lakes Post Code ST4.
A hotel close to the airfield would be a bonus.
This is a fixed wing flight in PA28R not a helicopter as the name may suggest.
Thanks
Duncan

Seighford looks closest and best road link, I believe it is a gliding club. Do they allow visitors? Any one know runway sizes and information ?
Muffin thanks - Tattenhall looks a viable option

Last time I went to Seighford it was a grass strip just used by gliders. I don't think the tarmac there can be used these days. I suggest you call them and ask.

The gliding club only allow power visitors on gliding business and for weather diversions. The field is rough in places but I've taken a PA28-140 in a few times.
There is still some use of the tarmac strip but it depends if it is being used for driving experience days. The owner is Bill Brown, I've sent you a PM with his number.

Got a similar need myself. SWMBO's parents live just east of Stoke, and I was hoping to find a farm strip reasonably close for the bi-annual pilgrimage as opposed to trudging down in the car.
Closest on the chart is Calton Moor, which is marked as a Microlight site. I've heard that small fixed wings can land there, but totally drawn a blank on managing to acquire any contact details for the owner.
