Wye Valley
Observe the winding River Wye marking the historic border between England and Wales amidst lush greenery.
Brecon Beacons
Enjoy views of the rolling red sandstone peaks and reservoirs of South Wales' most famous national park.
Gower Peninsula
Spot the white sandy beaches and limestone cliffs of Rhossili Bay, the UK's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Tralee Bay
Experience the rugged beauty of the North Kerry coast and the Slieve Mish Mountains as the plane banks for landing.
