The APT Charitable Trust in Wiltshire has been making the skies available to all since 1994.
Using specially modified microlight aircraft, pilots can enjoy a trial flight or gain their pilot’s licence with a qualified instructor.
With group bookings and gorgeous greenery surrounding you, there’s no better way to own the skies (and try to spot your cottage from the air!).

If you’re feeling fearless then this activity – basically ‘flying without wings’ – is suitable for wheelchair users.
Before you soar on Europe’s largest and the world’s fastest zip line, you will go on the ‘Little Zipper’ to build your confidence.
From there it’s downhill all the way with speeds of over 100mph and views over Anglesey and the Isle of Man to be enjoyed by the most eagle-eyed adventurers.
