Butterfly Paragliding Centre is a regularly used site known for good coastal soaring, with some cross-country (XC) flying possible. On favorable days, you can even fly to The Needles. It's recommended to contact Dave before flying. Take off from a grassy area on a 120-meter-high coastal cliff. This location is ideal for learning to fly in the wind. Top landing is the routine choice, but beach landing is also an option, though it involves a half-hour walk back up. The site is easily accessible with the postcode PO38 2HL. You can park, set up, and take off with ease. This location offers easy airtime for beginners and a challenging 30-kilometer cliff run for more experienced pilots. The paragliding residential center is great for families and groups of pilots. Check Airbnb for available listings. Be mindful of weather hazards, particularly the wind on the water. Visualize the airstream flow lines to stay safe. There are no local Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) restrictions at this site.
