VISITORS to Fritton House are to be presented with the opportunity of a lifetime in late September .
Fritton House will be running seaplane trips out over the Somerleyton Estate and surrounding countryside in a Cessna 182 aircraft fitted with Aerocet amphibious floats.
Spokeman Jennie Durham said: “Not only will these private flights offer a breathtaking aerial view of the exceptional beauty of one of the most picturesque landscapes in
East Anglia, passengers will also experience the unique thrill of a waterborne take-off and landing.
Trip routes are dependent on weather conditions and prevailing winds.
Possible flight paths would take sightseers climbing up and beyond the lake and Somerleyton Hall, on over the ruins of Burgh Castle, soaring above the famous Norfolk Broads or heading south along the coast towards Southwold.”
