Lochs and Quays in Scotland

Scotland is home to some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world, and no view is more impressive than that over some of Scotland's most famous lochs. Scottish lochs are an important part of the country's breathtaking landscape. From the world-famous, mythical Loch Ness to the other popular and picturesque lochs, these natural wonders are breathtaking to behold. Thousands of them, each of varying sizes, lie scattered throughout the country and some are woven into magical stories and legends.

Lakes and Parklands in England

The beauty of the Lake District with its beautiful villages, historic sites and ancient castles scattered throughout the area will surely enchant you. The North Pennines are among the best destinations in northern England, offering stunning scenery of flower-filled hay meadows, sweeping moors, intimate woodlands and charismatic wildlife. Here you can experience tumbling waterfalls, dramatic valleys, sweeping moorlands, stone-built villages and winding stone walls. It is the darkest area of stunning natural beauty on the mainland and has the darkest night skies in England. Yorkshire Moors is one of the most beautiful places in northern England, spanning more than 1400 square kilometers of breathtaking scenery. At every step you encounter cultural heritage and history, from Victorian steam railroads to Gothic ruins, from stately homes to Cistercian monasteries, from fishing villages to ironstone mines.

Valleys and Quarries in Wales

The area in Wales between Swansea and the Isle of Anglesey and around Mount Snowdon is rich in history, nature and culture. You start in the second largest city in Wales: Swansea. Swansea is an important center for trade, industry and education. The city has a long maritime tradition and was once the world's largest export port for coal.

Castles and Causeways in Ireland

Ireland, often referred to as the "Emerald Isle", is known for its lush landscapes and year-round green grass. This characteristic green is due to the mild climate, which is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf Stream, allowing the grass to grow twelve months of the year. Winters are mild, summers can be described in the same positive light, with spring and fall in between

Enjoy the travel, Nordheim Missions and ProfSC wish you lots of fun flying over the spectacular landscapes!
