What Can I Expect

These flying lessons and experiences at Lleweni Parc airfield near Denbigh are all about the waves, ridges and thermals at a unique Welsh setting where mountains, coastline and castles are par for the course!

All flights are operated by a motor glider, which means there's no waiting for a tow or a winch, you just launch yourself. Once airborne over this lovely corner of North Wales, the motor will be turned off and you glide.

It all starts off green, green, green everywhere...then, oh look, mountains! This Denbigh Airfield offers direct access to the delights of Snowdonia National Park.

We highly recommend the one-hour Mountain Experience to get the full epic tour. If weather conditions allow, you'll soar over the summit of Snowden, before heading west to the coast passing by the likes of Barmouth and Aberdovey, to continue in-land towards Dolgellau and Cadar Idris.

On the 45-minute Coast Experience you will be on the trail of some of Wales's many castles. You'll see the likes of Denbigh, Rhuddlan, Gwrych and Conwy castles. All utterly breathtaking from the air, as is the stunning coastline you'll follow too.

For those wanting a fully hands-on air experience over Denbighshire, go for the 30-minute lesson. As soon as it's safe to do so, your pilot instructor will hand the controls to you and it'll be you flying.

North Wales boasts some unique conditions for glider flying including ridge runs, the Snowdonia wave and incredible thermals, which is why this club exists. It's run by passionate pilots who want you to experience flying out of Denbigh in their wonderful motorised Grob glider!
