Dartmoor National Park
The rugged granite tors and vast open moorland of Devon's wild interior.
Bodmin Moor
High peaks including Brown Willy and Rough Tor rising from the Cornish landscape.
North Cornish Coast
Distant views of the Atlantic-facing cliffs and famous surfing beaches like Newquay.
Land's End
The final western tip of mainland England where the English Channel meets the Atlantic.
The Northern Isles

The right side is best for late afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. Keep an eye out for the white 'pyramids' of the China Clay pits near St Austell which look alien from the air.
