Stansted - Belmer Road mound location and map

Post by andygolfer » Sun Mar 02, 2014 10:36 am

I have frequently been asked by people wishing to visit Stansted where Belmer Road with it's bank and mound are located so I've made the attached ordnance survey map with notes which might help.

Brief directions - coming from the M11, from the first slip road from the A120 (it becomes A120 at this point) to the northern side and long stay car park, go past the long stay and just keep following the road round the airport, past the north side entrance and the junction into Stansted Mountfitchet ( bridge over M11), through Burton End and then eventually there is a long straight bit of road with a tall hedge on the airport side, there is a bank behind the hedge (plenty of gaps through the hedge) which gives good views of the runway but you are looking towards the sun (that yellow thing that occasionally appears during an english summer) until about 2pm. the police do prefer people to park on the airport / hedge side of the road particularly if there are a lot of spotters about for the occasional rarity. Note my comment on the plan about the use of steps for photography- the airport police dont permit them within 3metres of the fence and soon appear if you contreravene that rule.

I hope this is of use to Stansted visitors
