The airfield consists of 400 acres (1.5 km?) of well-drained short-mown grass, with three nominal runways (not marked) of 06/24, 13/31, 18/36, each 1,000 metres long. The field is bumpy in places due to collapsing field drains, requiring care on the part of pilots operating aircraft in those areas.
