Bulbarrow, located in Dorset, UK, is a rarely flown paragliding site with a height of 250 meters above mean sea level (AMSL). The site is known for its turbulence and lack of bottom landing, making it less popular among pilots. It is primarily used by aeromodellers, and it is courteous to speak with them before flying if they are present. The wind direction ranges from SSW to WSW (210° to 240°), with the best conditions being SW (225°). The site has some cross-country (XC) potential, although it is not easy to get away from. The site record is 5.3 km. Access to the site is through a metal gate, and parking is limited to 3 or 4 cars by the Wessex Ridgeway bridleway signpost. If the parking area is full, additional parking is available on a rough ground triangle near the masts. Hazards include significant rotor, especially if the wind is off to the west, and the lack of an official bottom landing. Pilots must be skilled at side landing in confined spaces on an irregular, scrub-covered slope. Horses use the bridleway, so canopies should not be inflated if they are nearby, and overflying should be avoided. Launching can be done from the area immediately below the gate, but it is close to the bridleway. Alternatively, the top landing field can be used, accessed through the gate immediately on the left after entering the site. This field is closed if it contains a crop or sheep during the lambing season. A barbed-wire fence must be cleared, making this launch unsuitable in light winds. Top landing is available in the large field between the top of the sloping hillside and the road. There is no negotiated bottom landing. For cross-country flying, pilots must avoid the Compton Abbas ATZ and be aware of the Salisbury Plain Danger Area, as well as the Old Sarum, Boscombe Down, and Middle Wallop ATZs further downwind. The final obstacle is London airspace. The site requires a strong wind for dynamic lift due to its shallow slope. Better south-westerly soaring sites exist on the coast, but Bulbarrow can provide smooth evening flying if a sea breeze reaches Bell Hill.
