Sherburn airfield is ideally located as a base to explore the fabulous scenery of the Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors, Yorkshire Coast, the Lake and Peak Districts. There are numerous castles, abbeys, and stately homes to see as well as the historic cities of York, Beverley and Ripon. There is also a dense network of airfields all within a short distance, including the Elvington and Breighton aircraft collections.

Sherburn in Elmet is a large village located in the Selby District of North Yorkshire between York and Leeds. The origins of the village go back to Roman times and the name reflects the fact that it was once within the Kingdom of Elmet. Today the village is known for its large industrial estate, located on part of a world war two airfield, the very same now operated by Sherburn Aero Club.

We are surrounded by some of the countries most beautiful countryside and yet are only a short distance from Leeds and York. Whether you are looking to go sightseeing and visit local attractions, take a walk in the Yorkshire countryside or you prefer retail therapy, you will not be disappointed.
