Directions: Come off the M40 at Jct 12 (Gaydon) and follow the signs to "Burton Dassett Hills Country Park"
If you're more local, come off the A41 between Banbury & Warwick. Follow the local signs for Magpie Hill.
Parking: Ample parking with toilets at main parking area. £1.40 per day. Season tickets are available (£14) if you're going to be visiting often.
Several designated parking areas and pretty much anywhere else you care to stop!
Facilities: Toilets with baby changing and disabled facilities. During summer months, refreshments are available from an ice cream van.
Accessibility: Easy road access.
Flying Area: Large hill area with good viewpoints. Several open hilltops all grazed by sheep (wear old shoes...)
The main hill (Magpie) can get busy with radio controlled gliders but I've not had any trouble finding a spot elsewhere.
Usually good to strong winds but can get very windy - strong kites (and arms!) required

Local Clubs/Contacts: Alcester Kitefliers here occasionally.
