On the trail you will learn about:

  • Priory

  • Wellington Straight

  • Brooklands

  • Luffield

  • The RAF memorial

Each panel has incredible, memorable stories of racing events and major changes at each corner, including pinpointing the location of Silverstone’s original pits. The Heritage Track Trail also gives you the amazing opportunity to walk on the old track itself, from Bridge corner to Priory.
