What Can I Expect

Cotswold Lakes helicopter tours with fascinating sights to see from the word go! Ten-minute sightseeing rides out of Vowley Farm in an executive helicopter over villages, towns and the wonderful Cotswold Lakes.

Your tour departs from Rowley Farm, located between Royal Wootton Bassett and Swindon. Rising gracefully into the air, you’ll see the neighbouring village of Ashton Keynes and the popular market town of Royal Wootton Bassett, before soaring over the lakes.

A cluster of freshwater lakes rich in wildlife, the Cotswold Lakes area includes several nature reserves and Sites of Scientific Interest. It’s also home to the UK’s largest in-land beach area, with water sports and activities for all ages.

You’ll be able to pick out the likes of Freeth Moore, Pikes Corner, Swillbrook Reserve, Howells Meere and Somerford from your helicopter viewpoint. And of course, you’ll be able to spot the River Thames winding through too.

Having lingered over the lakes, you’ll return to base flying over the likes of Mouldon Hill Country Park, glimpsing the Thames again at Cricklade.

If you’d like to make this short and sweet Cotswold Lake helicopter tour even sweeter, go for the tour and cream tea voucher option, to enjoy scones and tea at Rowley Farm either before or after your flight.
