BGP Accommodation
What do people do for the BGP if they have to stay near Silverstone?
As we are nearing the race (one week to go) are there still places available? In hotels? In Campsites? What are your experiences and recommendations? |

Theres a reasonable if slightly noisey campsite right opposite the main gates at Silverstone. There should be spaces available until Friday night if past years are anything to go by. Can't remember the name of it I'm afraid but if you take the little road from Towster to the circuit, it's on your right hand side about 50 yards before the main gates to Silverstone. Think its called Downingberry Farm???

Campsite is in easy walking distance of local shop & pub (White Horse) the pub will be very busy but atmosphere is good in village. |
