      There is a trail guide with map at http://mag-umbraco-media-live.s3.amazonaws.com/1015/airportplustrailplusguide.pdf
      The best free parking is at the Aeropark Car park near Castle Donnington or in the A453 lay-by.
      The trail runs outside the Airport perimeter fence for most of the way and there are notice boards containg maps and further info at several points.
