Sleep close to
Silverstone

Silverstone is in the countryside, and the hotels close by sell out on race weekends. From Silverstone village you can walk to the main gate. From Towcester or a bigger town, the official Grand Prix buses are the way in and out. Here is what the circuit says, and how long the walks really are.

What you only find here

Booking sites say Towcester is "1.4 miles" or a hotel is a "9-minute drive". On race day that means little. We worked out the walks on the map from the village to the main gate, and put the official Grand Prix bus hours next to the hotels, so you know if you can get back after the race.
