Follow the complex Google
route from Bungay below. **
SatNav
(GPS) or NOT ?
There are countless other
routes along Norfolk's meandering narrow by-ways, so turn off
your SatNav (GPS) and just enjoy the countryside.
All right then, for those
of you who lack a sense adventure here are the GPS coordinates
Lat:
52.470913 - 52° 28' 15.2868"

OK, you have only 15 minutes, 6 miles (10 km) to go.
On the B1527 (formerly
B1135) — after leaving the village of Hempnall, turn right
in about ½ mile (800m) towards Hempnall (The) Greens along
Alburgh Road.
Continue for about 1 mile
(1.5 km), straight on past the Hempnall "Three Horseshoes" public
house on your left. After a further ½ mile (800m),
turn sharp left, then sharp right. The airfield is now
on your right but don't stop yet.
After about 400 yards
(metres), turn left into Barford Road towards Topcroft.
After a further sharp
left and right, keep straight on at the 'T' junction along Denton
Road. Don't turn left into
Topcroft Street.
After about 200 yards
(metres), look for some white gates on your right. Turn
through this opening onto a private concrete road, which used
to be part of the airfield. The 93rd Bomb Group Museum
is on the next series of sharp bends.
Please drive slowly and
carefully. On OPEN DAYS a one-way
system may be in operation.
