Helicopter Tours In And Around Brighton

The East Sussex coastline is one of the most spectacular in the United Kingdom. Brighton is an exceptionally beautiful city, and it can be a daunting prospect to see it all by foot or even by bus. For those who wish to see the Brighton coastline in all its glory, as well as the stunning neighbouring towns and South Downs national park, then flying high in a Helicopter for a thrilling aerial tour should be top of any to-do list when visiting the area.
