Shining very brightly is this Pearl of Dorset sightseeing flight!

It's a lovely place & the journey to get there is pretty impressive too! Your rendezvous point for these helicopter tours is at a farm just outside Bridport. With Jersey cows grazing homemade ice cream on sale in the farm shop & acres of rolling Dorset countryside all around the take off is as pretty as a picture. Once airborne you'll be taking a westerly direction over West Bay & along the coastline. Between Seatown & Charmouth the coastline is pretty wild & spectacular with it.

Swooping in over Lyme Regis in your helicopter it's pretty clear why the town is the Pearl of Dorset. Historic shopfronts & buildings on the steep little High Street run down to the beach & the harbour. & there's the famous Cobb which will take you back to John Fowles's ' The French Lieutenant's Woman'.
