Very friendly airfield indeed, easy to find in the Usk Valley and an easy destination for most places in Southern UK.
660m of well-kept grass. Landing fee is a donation to the upkeep of the airfield, and a very tidy chalet hut provides the makings for tea and coffee if required. Ask Frank, the owner, to show you his self-designed and built aircraft tug - just the job for rough ground.
If you want a (lot!) more than a cuppa, The Hardwick is a serious foodies' establishment less than 5 minutes walk from the aircraft parking.
It's only about half an hour (at 90 knots) from me, and I feel I've missed out by not visiting before now.
