Directions:

A13, from London, into Leigh. Turn right when you get to Leigh and head down the hill. You can't miss the station. Drive behind the station, pass the station car park and there are parking facilities on the left. Walk 10 yards to the right to find the field. Alternatively take the train the Leigh on Sea and walk.

Other Comments:

It's used for walking dogs so beware of the consequences. Not a large site, but idealy situated as winds come straight of the Thames estuary uninterupted making fo rgood flying conditions. Nice walks available for non flyers. Can be used for buggying, but most will find it too small really. A few tree's at one end (the end the wind doesn't usually come from thank goodness)
