Experience the beauty of Dartmoor from a thrilling new perspective with gliding. Our friendly club near Tavistock offers the perfect opportunity to soar above the stunning South Devonshire countryside in twin-seat training sailplanes using the winch system.
At the Dartmoor Club, we have something for everyone. Start with our voucher for one winch, providing a captivating glider flight with an experienced instructor. Once you've tasted the freedom of gliding, you'll want more, making our voucher for two winch launches the top choice for many.
For a comprehensive gliding experience, choose our full-day Dartmoor glider package. Spend the day with an instructor, learning the theory and technical aspects of flying a sailplane and taking to the skies in a dual-control aircraft for multiple flights.
During this extensive glider day in Dartmoor, you'll enjoy six flights, gaining maximum training time and a thorough understanding of gliding procedures. Upon completion, you'll receive a training record and certificate to celebrate your achievements.
All experiences include hands-on time at the controls and flights operated by the winch tow. Depending on the weather and winds, you can ascend several thousand feet before gracefully gliding over Dartmoor, propelled only by the wind.

Great experience, very welcoming reception from all the team and thorough briefing and calm and controlled flight unfortunately on the day the flight was relatively short due to wind conditions but extremely enjoyable and would recommend it.

Harry Martin
I thoroughly enjoyed my glider experience at the Dartmoor Gliding Club. All the staff and members were extremely knowledgeable and made you feel very welcome. The experience itself was exhilarating and exactly what I'd hoped for. Well done to all at Dartmoor Gliding Club. I'd happily go back. Their organisation in advance of the day was also first class.

It was a lovely gift and a great experience. Everyone was welcoming and informative and relaxed.
James Inchley
Thoroughly enjoyed my glider flight, although i was disapointed that i didn't get a tempory mmbership to the club to enable me to have further flights as i was lead to believe. Would like to have done more flightsas the weather wasn't that good on the day as my 2 winches only lasted a total of 9 minutes.
Christopher Brockway
An alround great experience.
