Helicopter Tours from Gloucestershire Airport

What Can I Expect

Helicopter tours from Gloucestershire Airport! We are offering vouchers for a range of sightseeing flights to see the towns, cities and villages of the famous 'Wolds' too.

You will be touring the local area in a Bell 206 JetRanger helicopter. The sleek Bell 206 carries up to four passengers and definitely looks the part, with comfortabler seating and executive-style livery - just as any discerning VIP would like!

So, get comfy in your seat and prepare for take off. As you rise gracefully into the air, you'll be amazed how quickly you gain altitude. Before long you'll be high above this Area of Outstanding Nature Beauty and you'll be swooping over the picturesque countryside and wolds (which is the word for the gentle hillsides so typical of the Cotswolds).

Depending on flight time, you might see Chedworth, with its famous 1700 year old Roman 'stately home' with mosaics, water shrine and latrine, as well as Cirencester itself and its famous amphitheatre. You may know these sights from the ground, but looking at them from 1000ft up in the air takes on a whole new meaning.

You certainly won't be able to miss Cleeve Hill either, the highest point of the Cotswolds at 330m above sea level, or the escarpment often referred to as Cotswold Edge that runs the length and the breadth of this most charming corner of the Shires.

In the Cotswolds it's all about history and heritage, from Roman origins to the pastoral ways of life, which make this unique area such a delight to discover from the viewpoint that only a tour in an executive helicopter can give you.

We think a helicopter tour out of Gloucestershire Airport is a great way to see this wonderful melange of rolling countryside, sleepy little hamlets and vibrant market towns.
