Book your seat on the 15 Minute Country Tour and enjoy a proper birds eye view of Leicestershire. This flight is ideal if you want a bit more time in the air without going all out, giving you a relaxed but exciting look at the countryside that surrounds the city. You will lift off from Leicester Airport at Stoughton and head east, where the scenery quickly opens up into rolling fields, villages and classic market town views. From above, you will spot areas stretching between Melton Mowbray and Market Harborough, with plenty of green space and patchwork farmland to enjoy along the way. The flight is operated in a Robinson R44 helicopter with an experienced pilot, so you can sit back and soak it all in knowing you are in safe hands. Whether you are seated up front or in the back, the views are excellent and there is always something worth looking at. This 15 minute tour is a great choice if you want to see more of rural Leicestershire from the air while still keeping things simple, scenic and seriously enjoyable.
