    Maker Heights in Cornwall, UK, offers a regularly used coastal soaring site with a height of 95 meters. This site is suitable for experienced hang glider pilots and paraglider pilots. The site record is 3.6 km. The flying area extends 200 meters by 2 miles from Cawsand to Picklecombe Point. For take-off, walk across the field to the slope, but avoid moving too far forward to clear the hedge in front. Face the Great Mewstone and aim to clear the hedge between the two small tree clumps. Maintain high speed to navigate through any rotor from the hedge. Top landing is typically in the field behind the launch or across the road in the field belonging to Maker Camp. Be cautious of wire fences. A better landing spot is further back in the 400ft contour area if it is not in crop. There is no bottom landing for hang gliders. Paragliders may land crosswind in the long field at the bottom of the cliff, running from below launch towards Kingsand. Be careful as the field slopes towards the sea; inspect it before flying. Hazards include the absence of bottom landing for hang gliders and the risk of being sucked into the gulley immediately to the right (west) of the launch. Directions: Cross the Torpoint ferry from Plymouth and join the A374 for 2 miles. Turn left to St John, continue past Millbrook on the B3247, and turn off for Kingsand. Go down the hill for half a mile, then at the junction above the village, turn left up a steep narrow hill. The road levels out at the top, where old pillboxes and defenses overlook the sea. The hang gliding take-off area is from a field further on, belonging to Mr. Martin of Home Farm, Mount Edgcumbe, just past a footpath on the right.
