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.

Fly like a bird!

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.

 
Give gliding a try

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.

 
A leisurely flight

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.
