Our flying club, located on the former Treswithick Farm in Bodmin, features two grass runways and has been offering exceptional lessons since 1972. Situated in the heart of the South West, just north of Bodmin town and adjacent to the A30, our location provides easy access for all aspiring aviators.
Your journey begins with a warm welcome at the clubhouse, where you'll meet your experienced pilot before taking to the skies. As you soar over Bodmin and the moors, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the Cornish landscape, including the charming towns of St Austell and Truro.
