What Can I Expect
Soar over the seat of learning on an Oxford Helicopter Tour! Oxford is home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world and the combination of impressive Gothic architecture, pretty town centre and a cosmopolitan feel make the city a perennially popular tourist attraction. Now you have the chance to see all these sights from the air.
This wonderful helicopter tour will show you just why Oxford is called the city of dreaming spires. There are 40 of them! Beautifully preserved churches and university buildings dominate the skyline, making an aerial tour the only way to really appreciate the likes of All Saint's, Keeble, Merton and Christchurch colleges that combine to make the prestigious Oxford University.
You don't have to be a scholarly type to enjoy this tour, after all, this is true Inspector Morse country. As well as seeing the city centre with all those stunning buildings, you will also fly over the villages and market towns dotted about the lovely Oxfordshire countryside, much of which featured in the TV shows too.
Your departure point for these tours is the helipad at Chalgrove, a private airfield south east of Oxford with easy access from the A40. It's a lovely place and there is a farm shop, restaurant and bar on site, so you can make a real day of it in relaxed surroundings..
Your Oxford helicopter tour will last 30 minutes, climbing to around 1000ft and flying over the countryside, as well as the bustling centre. Using headsets, you will be able to listen to a commentary to help you pinpoint all the significant sights as you go, so you don't miss anything. If you love Oxford, you'll adore seeing it all from the air!
