New Inn Hotel
NEW INN HOTEL: Arranged helipad…of sorts
Note: This picture was obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: In Clovelly, about 1nm N of the A39, 8nm WSW of Bideford, 13nm NNE of Bude
Landing area: 1998, permission could be obtained to use the Visitors Centre car park 300m W of hotel
NOTES: It is the purpose of this 'Guide' to give the widest view of the fabulous heritage we have in the UK for flying sites. But, I don't think I have discovered another situation quite like this - hence its inclusion.
Clovelly is of course one of the jewels in the UK; not just in Devon. A far as I am aware no vehicular access is allowed into its narrow steep cobbled main street, just donkeys and sledges. How do they cope with a medical emergency, or house on fire?
It is of course world famous, so it seems hard to believe that some wealthy people have not, over the years, taken advantage of using a helicopter to pay a visit? If anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be most welcome.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
