Considered as one of the best gliding sites in the country. with stunning views over the Shropshire Hills and Wales, the five mile long ridge facing the prevailing westerly winds is ideal for extended flight times when thermals do not oblige.
Our Experience Flights are conducted by experienced pilots who are qualified by the British Gliding Association to undertake paid flights and carry passengers. Many of them have been flying for a living before they retired, come from the military, or have more than thirty years experience of flying gliders.
Gliding is very weather dependent so we may have to cancel your flight or rearrange it for another day at short notice. If this happens we apologise in advance but are very much at the mercy of the weather. We hope you understand.
