Overview
Take to the skies in one of the most scenic and unique flying spots in Wales with a glider lesson at Lleweni Parc airfield in Denbighshire. This hands-on experience lets you explore the natural wonders of the air—ridges, waves, and thermals—all from the cockpit of a sleek Grob Twin II. This modern, two-seater glider features a tandem setup, placing you right behind your instructor. You’ll be towed to 3,000ft by a tug plane, then released into peaceful, engine-free flight above the stunning Welsh countryside. It’s an experience like no other. Once you're safely soaring, your instructor will let you take the controls. Yes—you’ll actually be flying the glider yourself, and trust us, the thrill is unforgettable. North Wales is renowned for its gliding conditions, including the legendary Snowdonia wave and ridge runs, making it a top spot for aviation enthusiasts. The club at Lleweni Parc is run by experienced, passionate pilots who are excited to share this extraordinary location and their love for gliding with you. Each session lasts around 30 minutes and includes a tailored lesson on how gliders fly and how to control them. Plus, you’ll receive a complimentary 30-day club membership—so if the gliding bug bites, you can come back for more!

Robin Cutts
A wonderful experience on a perfect day with a clear blue sky. A really friendly and informative greeting followed by an amazing flight. My wife, who was watching the take off and landing, was made very comfortable while I was in the air and offered a drink. She also heard the radio communications.
Andy Harrison
This was a birthday present which had been delayed due to the Covid19 pandemic several times. C19 restrictions notwithstanding, this was excellent fun, due mainly to the pilot and the weather this was the flying lesson experience youll need both hands free Some of the facilities on the ground were midconstruction theyre building a flight simulator but this didnt detract too much as we were the only ones there on the day. Be prepared to sign away your life of course, but one of the benefits in doing so is that you become a member of the flying club for 30 days, and so if youre in the area you can go up again at considerably less cost than the experience day. If youve got a gopro or similar and a chest or head mount this is an excellent opportunity for some aerial photos but unfortunately the review system was unable to upload a photo when I wrote this review
Robert Davies
This was without doubt one of the best experiences I have ever had. To be able to fly at low level over the mountains I have climbed so many times was unforgettable. My pilot was excellent and gave me the controls for part of the fight. I never thought I would be able to add fly a plane to the list of things I have done. I would thoroughly recommend this experience.
