Description

Begin your adventure at the beautiful Redhill Airfield. Climb aboard a modern helicopter and take off, heading south for Gatwick. Pass directly over Gatwick Airport and get an amazing view of the terminals, taxiways, and big airliners coming and going from London’s second biggest airport. Your pilot will be your tour guide and can tell you all about the activities below. Following the Brighton mainline, see the huge Ouse Valley Viaduct, sometimes called the Balcombe Viaduct. Built in 1842, it is an incredible 450-meter bridge spanning the Ouse Valley, carrying the London to Brighton railway line, and built from 11 million bricks for the princely sum of £38,500. It is an incredible feat of engineering. Continue south past the Sussex towns of Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill, then on over the South Downs to the port town of Shoreham and the South Coast. On reaching the beach, turn eastwards towards Brighton. In the sea looms the wreck of the old Brighton West Pier, destroyed by fire in 2003. Keeping just off the shoreline, enjoy fantastic views of the city and coastline. Further along the beach, fly over the newly refurbished Brighton East Pier with its fun fair. On leaving Brighton, fly over the chic Brighton Marina, packed with some of the latest and most expensive yachts. Moving east, you may glimpse the Newhaven Ferry as it leaves or returns from Dieppe in France. Get a great view of Newhaven ferry port and docks as your journey continues. The coast now changes shape to chalk cliffs and rocks as you head for the world-famous Beachy Head. With its massive record-breaking white cliffs and lighthouse, it is a sight not to be missed. Continuing along the coast, arrive at Eastbourne with its smart new Sovereign Harbour. Now turning north, fly past Halsham and Crowborough, which is situated on the Weald next to Ashdown Forest. On reaching Edenbridge, turn west paralleling the North Downs towards South Godstone Station, snatching views of the London skyline. Back at Redhill Aerodrome, your pilot will smoothly land back on the helipad. It’s time for photos.
