Departing from Leicester Airport, this unforgettable helicopter adventure takes you high above England’s smallest county, revealing a side of Rutland that most people never get to see. As the helicopter rises, everyday views quickly turn into something special, with patchwork countryside, winding railways and grand manor houses stretching out below.
The real showstopper is Rutland Water itself. From the air, this vast manmade reservoir looks even more impressive, with its sweeping shoreline and shimmering water changing colour as the light hits it. You’ll also fly over Barnsdale, well known as the home of BBC Gardeners’ World, where the carefully designed gardens create a striking contrast against the surrounding countryside. Then there’s Hambleton Hall, perched proudly above the water, looking every bit as elegant from above as it does from the ground.
With around 30 minutes in the helicopter, there’s plenty of time to soak it all in. This is a relaxed, scenic tour that lets you enjoy every moment, from take-off to landing. Whether it’s spotting tiny villages nestled among rolling fields or seeing familiar landmarks from a whole new angle, there’s always something to catch your eye.
As a gift, this helicopter flight ticks a lot of boxes. It’s ideal for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, thank you presents or for anyone who says they already have everything. It’s also a great choice for couples, friends or solo adventurers who fancy doing something a bit out of the ordinary.
