    In The Air Outdoor Activities

You are here: Home > Things to Do > Outdoor Activities > In the air

In the air

Take to the sky above the Lake District and get a bird’s eye view of one of Europe’s most stunning landscapes. What better way to see this unique area than from above. There are many ways to do this, including taking a gyroplane sightseeing trip or if you have a head for heights, why not visit Honister Slate Mine and a walk on the Infinity Bridge, so named because you often can’t see the other end! Strung accross a breathtaking gorge high up on the mountain, 2,000 feet above the valley floor. The Infinity Bridge is the longest of this type of bridge in Britain.
