IN THE AIR
If you are an experienced flyer, you'll probably already know how brilliant the Peak District is for flying from the hills. But if you're new to airsports, you couldn't make a better choice of place to learn.
PARAGLIDING & HANG GLIDING
There are several BHPA (British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association) schools in the Peak District. Maybe you could book a tandem flight or sign up for a training course, or take it easy and just watch the action instead - Mam Tor overlooking Castleton is a popular site.
Try traditional gliding
Great Hucklow is the home of Derbyshire and Lancashire Gliding Club. You can book a single flight trial lesson or an all inclusive residential course.
Hot Air Balloon Flight
Hot Air ballooning is probably one of the most leisurely and natural ways to fly. Glide along with the breeze and get a bird's eye view of some of our most spectacular scenery.
