Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately early 1990s

Reason for Closure

The airstrip was closed due to the redevelopment of the Roserrow Estate into a luxury leisure complex. The land on which the private airstrip was located was repurposed for the construction of the Roserrow Golf & Country Club, which opened in 1992. The development of golf fairways, holiday homes, and other facilities made continued aviation operations on the site impossible.

Current Status

The site of the former airstrip is now fully integrated into the Roserrow Golf & Country Club. The coordinates (50.5617, -4.89654) place it directly within the grounds of the club, near St Minver in Cornwall, England. The land that once served as the runway is now occupied by golf course fairways, greens, and surrounding holiday accommodation. There are no remaining visible traces of the airstrip.

Historical Significance

Roserrow Airstrip was a small, private grass runway. Its significance was purely local, serving the owners of the Roserrow Estate and potentially a small number of private pilots for recreational flying. It handled light, single-engine aircraft. It was not a commercial airport and had no military history. The ICAO code 'GB-0471' is a UK-specific identifier for a small, unlicensed airfield, not an official international ICAO code, which reflects its status as a minor, private facility.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Roserrow Airstrip. The land has been completely and permanently redeveloped for high-value leisure and residential use. Re-establishing an airstrip would require the removal of parts of the golf course and holiday properties, making it economically and logistically infeasible.
