Seeing the Red Arrows around York

The flat Vale of York has long been RAF country — the area is dotted with former wartime airfields — and the Red Arrows transit this corridor regularly on the way to or from northern engagements.

Common viewing spots

The Minster tower (when open) and elevated spots on the Howardian Hills or the edge of the Wolds to the east give long views across the Vale. York Racecourse is another wide-horizon spot.

📍 RAF Waddington is about 60 miles south.
