The sensation of swooping above the ground in a high performance helicopter is quite unlike any other. A long favoured mode of transport for the rich and famous, it's the best way to gain a unique perspective of the British landscape. On this ten minute pleasure flight across the rolling Cotswolds, climb towards the clouds and soak up spellbinding views of the ground below, with the pilot pointing out local landmarks including the amazing remains of one of the largest Roman amphitheatres in Britain. Make sure to take a camera along on the experience so you can take plenty photos for reliving the experience and making friends jealous later.
