Morpeth Helicopter Rides
Fly from Eshott Airfield for quick helicopter thrills, Druridge Bay, Northumbrian coastal sightseeing, Bamburgh Castle and an extended tour reaching Alnwick Castle.
See Northumberland unfold from Eshott Airfield
Eshott Airfield sits close to the Northumberland coast, so the local flight choices quickly move from the excitement of getting airborne into recognisable coastal sightseeing. Druridge Bay, the Northumbrian shoreline and Bamburgh Castle all feature as the flying time increases.
The longest tour reaches towards Alnwick Castle with approximately 30 minutes in the air. For something more occasion-led, Ultimate Co-Pilot and the two bubbly experiences keep the flying shorter while changing the way the day feels.
