Take off on a captivating 10-minute helicopter tour with views of the picturesque Cotswold Lakes and beyond! Departing from Vowley Farm—perfectly nestled between Royal Wootton Bassett and Swindon—this short but stunning flight packs in some truly memorable views. From lift-off, your executive helicopter glides over charming villages like Ashton Keynes and the vibrant market town of Royal Wootton Bassett, before sweeping across the sparkling Cotswold Lakes. This unique cluster of freshwater lakes is teeming with wildlife and natural beauty. With several nature reserves and Sites of Special Scientific Interest, the area also boasts the UK’s largest inland beach and is a hotspot for watersports and family fun. From the sky, you’ll spot familiar names like Freeth Moor, Pikes Corner, Swillbrook Reserve, Howells Mere, and Somerford Lagoon—plus the winding ribbon of the River Thames weaving through the landscape. As you head back to base, enjoy more countryside charm with aerial views over Mouldon Hill Country Park and another glimpse of the Thames near Cricklade.
