The main circuit, normally raced in a clockwise direction, is 5.54 kilometres long, and is noted for its sweeping corners and wide straights.
The back straight of the main circuit becomes the pit straight when the south circuit is in use, and joins onto turn 8 of the main circuit to form a hairpin turn.
The name of the circuit is thought to derive from "de Brondehach" - a Gaelic term, "Bron" meaning "wooded slope" and "hach" meaning "entrance to the forest".
