Ponteland Helicopter Rides
Take the front seat beside the pilot at Kirkley Hall for an Ultimate Co-Pilot helicopter experience with approximately eight minutes in the air over the Northumberland countryside.
See Kirkley Hall from the co-pilot seat
The Ponteland experience is built around one of the most exciting passenger positions in the helicopter: the front seat beside the pilot. From Kirkley Hall, approximately eight minutes in the air gives the voucher holder a close-up view of the flying as the Northumberland countryside opens below.
The local experience is the Kirkley Hall Family Day Pleasure Flight, making this a particularly neat choice when the helicopter itself is the attraction and the front-seat perspective is what will make the memory.

Eight minutes that put you right beside the pilot
Ultimate Co-Pilot is less about covering the greatest distance and more about where you sit while the helicopter is doing it. The front-seat position opens up the cockpit view and makes take-off, turns and the changing landscape feel much more immediate.
From Kirkley Hall, the local experience lasts approximately 30 minutes overall with around eight minutes flying. That makes it a compact gift or day-out experience rather than a long sightseeing tour.
If castles and coastline are the priority, the Alnwick and Morpeth pages add longer Northumberland sightseeing choices. Ponteland is about the pilot-side perspective and the thrill of being close to the flying.
