Description
Milk Hill in Wiltshire, UK, is a popular paragliding site with an elevation ranging from 200 to 261 meters. It offers excellent soaring conditions and the potential for cross-country (XC) flights. The hill is shallow and works best with stronger winds from the south-southeast to southwest directions. It is suitable for pilots from CP level upwards.
Visiting pilots must apply for guest membership and will receive a briefing. The site is regulated by English Nature, and unaccompanied flying is prohibited. Pilots must always have a companion within sight to avoid penalties.
The site is located at OS Grid Ref SU 100 637, Landranger 173, Pathfinder 1185. Directions and parking are the same as for Milk Hill. Access is via a path around the back of the bowl and through a gate onto the south-facing escarpment. Pilots must stay at least 20 meters away from the fence line to avoid disturbing nesting birds.
Takeoff is permitted anywhere along the slope to the west of the eastern boundary, marked by a Natural England signpost. Landing should be within the designated boundary and at least 20 meters away from the top fence line. The bottom landing area is along the south-facing track to the right of takeoff, before the farm buildings.
The site can be hazardous in strong wind conditions, and pilots should be cautious of turbulence from the fields in front of the hill. XC pilots have many options with the temporary deactivation of Lyneham class D CTR/CTA airspace and ATZ, but they should check NOTAMs for any changes.
