Gower Peninsula

The first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the UK, featuring Rhossili Bay.

🌉

Severn Bridges

The two massive suspension and cable-stayed bridges spanning the Severn Estuary between Wales and England.

🎓

Oxford Spires

The iconic 'Dreaming Spires' of Oxford University are frequently visible on the descent path.

⛰️

Chiltern Hills

The chalk escarpment and dense beech forests marking the final approach into Luton Airport.

The Right Side is spectacular during late afternoon or sunset flights as the sun reflects off the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary. Look for the distinctive 'M4' motorway corridor which serves as a navigational landmark toward London.
