NEWCASTLE HELICOPTER RIDES

Newcastle Helicopter Tours

Embarking on a helicopter ride over Newcastle in Tyne & Wear is an exhilarating adventure that offers both locals and visitors alike the opportunity to witness the city’s splendid architecture, historical landmarks, and the natural beauty that surrounds it from a perspective that few get to see. This vibrant city, straddling the banks of the River Tyne, is renowned for its rich industrial heritage, iconic bridges, and lively cultural scene, making a helicopter tour an unforgettable way to explore its many facets.

As the helicopter begins its ascent, the panoramic vistas of Newcastle and its surroundings unfold beneath you. One of the first landmarks that usually captures the attention is the majestic Tyne Bridge, an emblem of the city’s engineering prowess and historical significance as a centre of industrial innovation. From the skies, the bridge’s elegant arch and the bustling activity along the river offer a striking contrast to the serene flow of the Tyne, highlighting the city’s ability to blend its industrial past with its vibrant present.

Moving along the river, the helicopter offers a unique view of the Newcastle Quayside, where old and new harmoniously coexist. The Millennium Bridge, with its innovative tilting design, and the historic buildings that line the waterfront, including the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art and the Sage Gateshead, showcase Newcastle’s commitment to cultural and architectural innovation. From this aerial vantage point, the Quayside appears as a lively strip of cultural landmarks, each telling a story of the city’s evolution from a medieval coal port to a modern cultural hub.

The flight path might then lead over the heart of Newcastle, revealing the splendid architecture of Grey Street, often celebrated as one of the finest streets in England. The Georgian facades, elegant curves, and the monument to Earl Grey at its pinnacle are a testament to Newcastle’s architectural heritage and its importance during the 19th century as a centre of commerce and social life. The bird’s eye view allows passengers to appreciate the street’s design and the grandeur of its buildings in a way that is simply not possible from the ground.
