Seeing the Red Arrows around Cambridge
IWM Duxford, just to the south, is the closest regular display venue. Transits toward London, Eastbourne and the South Coast also frequently route through the area.
Common viewing spots
IWM Duxford itself (ticketed) gives the best airshow experience. The flat Fen countryside gives enormous horizons for watching transits — the Gog Magog Hills south of Cambridge offer gentle elevation.
📍 IWM Duxford is around 10 miles south of the city.
