Clutton Hill Airstrip (ICAO: EGEI) is a small private grass airstrip near Clutton in Bath and North East Somerset, historically associated with the Wessex Aero Club. It offers a single runway pair for visiting light aircraft, though prior permission is required before any visit.
Clutton Hill Airstrip is a private airfield situated near the village of Clutton in Bath and North East Somerset, within reach of Bristol. It is of interest chiefly to owners of light touring and training aircraft who enjoy visiting small, informally run grass and farm strips, and it has a long-standing association with local private flying in the area.
The airstrip lies in the countryside near Clutton, within Bath and North East Somerset, in the wider Bristol area of south-west England. No specific airspace classification or nearby controlled airspace detail is available, so pilots should plan their route with reference to current charts for the Bristol area.
The field has a single physical runway, 06/24, surfaced in hard material and lit, with 06 measuring 2523 feet and 24 measuring 2461 feet. There is no ILS or other instrument approach available.
No communications frequency is published for the airstrip. Pilots should be prepared to operate on a self-announcing basis in the absence of a known ground or air-to-ground frequency, and should confirm current arrangements before flight.
Pilots who have visited in the past have reported a large tree close to one threshold, requiring a dog-leg manoeuvre just before the flare; this should be borne in mind when planning an approach, and a careful low pass to assess the strip and any obstructions is advisable before committing to land.
The airstrip was formerly home to the Wessex Aero Club, reflecting a period of active private flying based at the field, though detailed records of the club's operations are scarce.
Clutton Hill Airstrip remains a privately operated airstrip and prior permission is required before any visit; arrangements have traditionally been made directly with the landowner rather than through any formal airfield office.
