Wevelgem: Moorsele Airfield

About location

Moorsele Airfield combines the practical character of a grass airfield with the open agricultural plain of West Flanders in a way that reflects its position near Wevelgem. The surrounding terrain is notably level, part of the broad lowland landscape between Kortrijk and the French border. Wevelgem stands close to the River Leie, whose valley has long shaped settlement and transport in this corner of Belgium. The municipality is also closely associated with Gent–Wevelgem, the professional one-day cycling race first held in 1934. Moorsele adds a small-scale aviation presence to a region defined by fields, compact villages and cycling roads.

Flanders
Region Flanders

Flanders occupies the low-lying northern half of Belgium. Its terrain runs from the North Sea coast and reclaimed polders to fertile river plains, with the Scheldt linking cities and ports before reaching the sea in the Netherlands. Dutch is the principal language, and the region's historic towns retain a strong civic identity: Bruges is known for its medieval centre, while Antwerp developed into one of Europe’s major port cities and a global diamond-trading centre. Flemish painting, lace-making and beer brewing remain central to the cultural story, alongside a contemporary design and food scene.
