ESHOTT AIRFIELD
HELICOPTER RIDES

Eshott Airfield is a charming general aviation airfield located near Felton in the heart of Northumberland, just a short drive from Alnwick and the Northumberland National Park. Originally opened during World War II as RAF Eshott, the airfield was once home to RAF training squadrons and has since been transformed into a busy hub for private pilots and aviation enthusiasts. Surrounded by open countryside and rich in aviation history, Eshott Airfield offers a characterful and accessible launch point for scenic helicopter flights across this beautiful and often overlooked region of northern England.

Once airborne from Eshott, you’ll be greeted by sweeping views of the unspoiled Northumberland landscape. Depending on the route taken that day, you may glide over rolling farmland, patchwork fields, and historic market towns—or perhaps catch a glimpse of Alnwick Castle, the Cheviot Hills, or the winding River Coquet. On longer flights, the coastline may come into view, with its dramatic cliffs and wide sandy beaches stretching toward the horizon. Whether you opt for a quick 6-mile hop or a more extensive 55-mile journey, every flight promises a unique opportunity to appreciate Northumberland’s vast and varied scenery from an unforgettable vantage point.
