Kirkbride Airfield Flying Experiences
Information About Kirkbride Airfield
Kirkbride Airfield is owned and maintained by Solway Light Aviation Ltd. It is one of the most picturesque airfields in the UK, situated in the northwest corner of Cumbria. The airfield is surrounded by the imposing fells of the Lake District to the east and the Solway heritage coast to the west. It is easy to find, located just 9 miles west of Carlisle, and offers 4000ft of asphalt for landing. This makes it an ideal location for your aeronautical adventure.
Kirkbride Airfield, a place with a rich history, was initially opened in May 1939 for the storage and maintenance of aircraft. It served as a crucial holding area for planes after they were built, before being deployed to the front line. During World War II, the airfield was utilized by the RAF for many years, with the current White Heather Hotel being used as a base. Following the conclusion of the war, the airfield resumed its role as a storage facility for unwanted airframes. Today the Airfield offers a variety of Flying Experiences including helicopter sightseeing flights, Lake District tours, and city helicopter sightseeing tours.

With plenty to see in and around the Lake District, what better way to explore than from the comfort and relaxation of your own pleasure flight.

The Extended Tour of the Lakes will take off from Carnforth and fly over the Newby Bridge area of Lake Windermere, with views of Belle Isle, Storrs Hall, and the Marina. The tour continues over Bowness and to the most northerly point of Windermere at Ambleside, offering spectacular scenery for all ages and occasions.

Terms and Conditions for Kirkbride Airfield
Once you order a voucher, it will be dispatched by one of our agency partners by e-voucher or by post, depending on which you choose when you checkout.
Vouchers are valid until the expiry date shown on your Voucher (typically 10-12 months).
In most cases, once you activate your voucher you will be sent the instructions to redeem the voucher directly with the airfield or operator. Because flying experiences (other than simulators) can only take place in suitable/ safe weather conditions, you must be prepared to be flexible on your activity date. If the agent or operator cancels your experience date, they will inform you as soon as possible and do their very best to offer an alternative date or location. Once a specific date has been booked, you will automatically become bound by the terms and conditions that the individual operator may have. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure the descriptions contained on our products are a true reflection of the experience, these do not form part of a contract. If on contacting the operator you feel that the activity taking place no longer accurately represents the activity purchased, the relevant agent will exchange the voucher or refund the purchase price.
