Denbigh Gliding, Lleweni Parc Airfield

Lleweni Parc Airfield is the home of Denbigh Gliding.  We are a small soaring group based just outside the town of Denbigh in North Wales. Lleweni Parc Airfield boasts a 850m tarmac runway accessed by a sealed perimeter track. It is located in the Vale of Clwyd to the east of Snowdonia and enjoys spectacular mountain wave in the prevailing westerly wind. The site height record stands at 25,000ft. Flights to 19,500ft are possible without airspace restriction and higher flights are possible at weekends and during special soaring weeks using the Welsh Wave Boxes adjacent to the site.

Expeditions

If you are looking for those elusive height badges, or maybe wanting to learn the techniques of cross country wave flying, Lleweni Parc is an ideal location for your expedition.  If the wave lets you down, we have 30km of ridge to offer as a substitute, to say nothing of some very interesting thermal soaring.  There is excellent local accommodation in B&B, houses to let and hotels.  Camping is available on site where our clubhouse has a self catering kitchen, so staying on site can be both easy and sociable.
