Possitives- Great place to wait for a delayed flight when picking people up... Great fresh air, fun to watch planes take off and land
Negatives- Can be quite badly littered up there, (some individuals are obviously less conscientious of others or tge environment) could do with a bin perhaps. Also a small toilet would be helpful- when a flight could be delayed for several hours, there's only so long a bladder can hold out.
Fair warning ⚠️ Be aware that they do monitor speed as you go round the outside of tge Airport- especially if you see a police style vehicle near the perimeter inside the airport... just don't get yourself a set of shiny new points for speeding.
Generally takes about 10 to 15 minuets from viewpoint to the carparks.
Biggest plus- fun to watch planes Biggest neg - may need to pack some Huggies...

It was good not to read "use of deadly force.. ", which i read at Area 51. We met spotters, had a good time with them, improved our english skills and made a person happy. Would come again after Coro (picnic than) but still can't understand why my friend made loads of pics. I prefer the action inside big airports. Special hobby, nothing is stupid (comment below) when it's fun. Guess you meant Corona with the...
Read moreI have been coming to this viewpoint for at least 30 years. Now completely ruined and destroyed by the airport putting up solar panels to block the view. I am sure it is not accidental that they have placed the panels so as to block almost all viewing from here. They have a huge airport area but chose to put the panels here. As for claiming to be "green" using the panels, if so please explain why the nearby once fields have now become car parks. Absolutely disgusting behaviour by Bristol Airport against people who simply want to relax and have somewhere to watch the planes from. The people that did this ought to be ashamed...
