Herefordshire Gliding Club

Welcome to Herefordshire Gliding Club!

We are based at Shobdon Airfield in Herefordshire, a fantastic place to enjoy gliding, with beautiful scenery and views to enjoy. Our hard surface runway means we can fly every weekend of the year, weather permitting of course.We welcome complete novices, and our two-seater training gliders and professional and qualified instructors enable you to make quick progress. You need to be a minimum age of 16 to fly solo, but there are no other age restrictions.

We have lots going on at the club for you to get involved with, including inter-club competitions, social functions, course weeks, club task weeks, and visiting club weeks for you to come along and get involved in.
