About the Closed Cockpit Rivington Pike Gyrocopter Tour
Discover the thrill of gyro sightseeing over Manchester! Departing from Manchester City Airport, these unique air experiences offer breathtaking views of the cityscape and countryside from a gyrocopter. The gyrocopter, akin to the motorbike of the skies, provides an exhilarating open-cockpit experience with the wind in your face. Alternatively, choose the enclosed gyro for a comfortable, light aircraft like ride. Select from three exciting sightseeing itineraries, including a local 10-minute ‘buzz' tour, a 30-minute countryside tour, or a 30-minute Manchester city centre discovery trip. Embark on the 30-minute countryside excursion, heading north towards the Borough of Chorley. Marvel at Rivington Reservoir and explore the beautiful Rivington Terraced Gardens, featuring Japanese-inspired gardens, an Italian Lake, and the historic Pigeon Tower, courtesy of Mr. Lever (as in Unilever!).
