What Can I Expect

Experience the wonders of microlighting in Northumbria! Fly from Eshott Airfield north of Morpeth and get a taste for flying in a microlight, with 30-minute, 60-minute and the special three-hour ‘Big Adventure' flight experiences available. 

You will be getting airborne over spectacular Northumbria in a flex-wing microlight, which means the cockpit is completely open to the elements, ensuring you get treated to stunning views as you fly.

Indeed, you don't have to be in the air very long around these parts before you're looking down on some of the key Northumbrian tourist sights, with coast, country and plenty of castles all within your flying range.

From far-reaching views towards the Northumberland National Park (the advantage of being at around 1000 ft in the air!), to gazing across the bays and pools on the coast, one thing is for sure - these microlight flight itineraries show off the best of the county!

The ultimate microlighting experience in Northumbria has been dubbed the 'Big Adventure'. You'll fly from Eshott to another airfield, have a very civilised stop for tea and cakes, then fly back to base. The whole expedition gives you around three hours of flight time and, of course, you double up on the take offs and landings, which are, for many, a highlight!

So if you or someone you love would like the incredible chance to soar through the Geordie skies, then try your hand at microlighting in Northumbria. This combination of piloting and panoramic views is not to be missed.
