Firstly please note this tour is able to be changed, that means if you want a shorter or longer version of the tour I can do that for you. This area of England impressed me so much that I wanted to show others what is has offer and only 25 mins drive from Brighton.

Touring in Mercedes Luxury 7 seater mini bus and being picked up from your hotel, Airbnbor Brighton Station. Small easy-going Tour that can be changed on route to suit your needs if required. Having the smaller bus we are able to venture into the narrow roads in the villages of the South Downs. Note: London travellers will be picked up from Brighton train station.

Gliding Experience in Devon

Totally unique experience offered with this trip. Take off and climb away using our 80hp Rotax engine and upon reaching 1 mile above sea level we will slowly reduce power and allow the engine to gently cool down. After about a minute of cooling we will stop the engine completely and become a proper glider with a glide ratio of 24 to 1. This should give us 15-20 minutes of silent engineless flight or more if we can find some thermals and go soaring with the birds.

World War II Heritage Tour

"Probably the most militarised county in WWII", some 1.5 million GI's were stationed in the county of Devon. The north and south coasts of Devon were used extensively to both house the GI's and enable them to practice amphibious landings before the Normandy landings. This includes the notorious Slapton sands, one of the US military's darkest secrets of WWII. Focussing on the south coast, in addition to Slapton we'll visit Plymouth, where some 36,000 GI's departed. Plymouth is said to be the most bombed city in WWII (per sq mile) more than London and Coventry and is still the largest naval dockyard in Western Europe. Down the coast the picturesque coastal town of Dartmouth is home to two stunningly preserved castles at the mouth of the River Dart as well as Britannia Naval College, home to US naval command and where Queen Elizabeth first set eyes on the Duke of Edinburgh. Finally Brixham, now Englands' biggest fishing port with some of the best preserved naval gun batteries of WWII.
