Helicopter Rides in the UK
Many
people believe that the best way to explore a new destination is on
foot, and it is certainly true that you do tend to notice many things
this way that you might otherwise miss. However, when visiting a new
city or region (or looking for a new perspective on one that’s
already familiar), many people overlook the power of a helicopter
ride.
While
many tourists will climb to the top of a hill or tower to enjoy the
view, relatively few people consider the magic of an aerial tour.
Helicopter rides are a fabulous experience for visitors and locals
alike and offer an unforgettable way of seeing any destination. Plus
there’s something about soaring over a spectacular landscape or
bustling city that makes you feel like a proper adventurer, or as if
you’re taking part in a travel documentary – in this way
helicopters can lend spice to even the most conventional of holidays.
If
you’d like to treat yourself or someone you know to a helicopter
tour in the UK, consider one of the destinations below – they’ll
look amazing from the air and you’ll gain an entirely new
perspective on this fascinating country…
Brighton
and the South Coast
Hire
a helicopter out of nearby Shoreham Airport for a memorable overview of Brighton, its piers and pavilions, plus stunning views of the
rolling Sussex Downs and the white cliffs along the south coast. On a
sunny day the colours are breathtaking, and you’ll fully understand
why so many travellers reaching Britain for the first time over the
centuries were impressed by this countryside.
Pembrokeshire,
Wales
The
scenic coastline along the Pembrokeshire Coast National Trail is
among the most spectacular in Europe, with rugged headlands washed by
brilliant blue waves and historic castles nestled amongst hills.
Whether you’re a fan of nature or history or simply want some
unforgettable holiday photos, a helicopter ride over this striking
section of Wales has something for everyone.
Silverstone
Racecourse
The
motor racing circuit at Silverstone is legendary. Formerly a World
War II airfield, the track has been home to the British Grand Prix
for over 60 years and is known for its challenging course and the
number of motor sport celebrities who have raced here. If you’re
travelling to Silverstone to watch the racing, you can also purchase a driving
experience or a helicopter tour of the site. Seeing the famous course
from the air is one of the best ways to appreciate its difficulty and
fascinating history.
London
Perhaps
the best way to appreciate the colossal size of the British capital
is to view it from the air. It is utterly captivating to witness this
great metropolis and all its famous landmarks laid out as if in
miniature as you fly serenely past, high above the bustling crowds.
It’s the perfect way to introduce yourself to this great city –
or to see it in a whole new light.
Scottish
Highlands
Scotland’s
epic landscapes were made to be viewed by the air. Hire a helicopter
out of centres such as Nairn or Inverness and you’ll be in close
proximity to imposing mountains, ancient castles, deep lochs and
imposing battlefields. It’s a fantastic way to appreciate the sheer
vastness and drama of the Scottish Highlands.
