The Experience
Take your adventure to the next level with this extended 90-minute microlight flight over Northumberland.
This experience builds upon the 60-minute flight, taking you even further north to Berwick-upon-Tweed and deeper into the scenic border regions.
Starting with a pre-flight briefing, you’ll soon be soaring over breath-taking coastal and countryside landscapes. As you fly north, you’ll enjoy stunning views of Holy Island and Lindisfarne Castle. Keep an eye out for seals and dolphins along the coastline, particularly as you approach the tranquil Ross Sands, home to Northumberland’s only official nudist beach - though sightings of nudists are rare!
Your journey continues over Berwick-upon-Tweed, where you’ll marvel at the majestic Royal Border Bridge with its 28 arches spanning the River Tweed. From here, you’ll follow the river inland, offering incredible views of the Cheviot Hills and the surrounding countryside, scattered with historic country houses, ruined castles and ancient hill forts. The return route takes you past Chillingham Castle and the iconic Alnwick Castle, before descending back to Atheys Moor airfield.
This 90-minute flight offers a whirlwind tour of Northumberland’s most awe-inspiring locations, from coastline to countryside, giving you a unique bird’s-eye view of the region’s natural beauty and rich history.
