Hot Air Balloon & Countryside Tour

Renowned as "Idyllic England," the stunning beauty of Britain can be fully appreciated from a unique perspective—the sky. Our exclusive "Cider & Cheese" Hot Air Balloon & Countryside Tour offers an unparalleled opportunity to admire the breathtaking landscapes that define this region. From the rolling countryside and patchwork fields to ancient woodlands and charming, historic towns, the scenery unfolds beneath you like a living canvas. Whether you choose to embark on this extraordinary adventure at sunrise, when the morning light casts a golden glow over the hills, or at sunset, when the sky is awash in vibrant hues, the unforgettable views will leave you longing for more.

The experience is more than just a balloon ride; it's a journey that starts from the moment you arrive. Before taking off, you'll have the chance to be part of the action by assisting with the inflation and deflation of the balloon. This hands-on experience provides fascinating insights into the art and mechanics of hot air ballooning, making you feel more connected to the adventure. As you lift gently off the ground, you'll find yourself floating in complete tranquility, carried by the wind over some of England's most stunning and untouched landscapes.

After approximately an hour of soaring in the sky, your flight culminates in a smooth landing where the true essence of Somerset awaits. Upon touchdown, indulge in a delicious post-flight treat— a handpicked selection of local cheeses and crisp apple ciders, each reflecting the rich agricultural heritage of the region. This moment of relaxation, with flavors that capture the spirit of the countryside, perfectly complements the serene beauty you've just witnessed from above.

We offer this exclusive Hot Air Balloon & Countryside Tour at various starting locations, each with its own unique vantage point. In Bath and Bristol, your journey will include sweeping views of Brunel's iconic suspension bridge, Bath’s Georgian architecture, and the serene lakes of the Chew Valley. The horizon stretches all the way to the Welsh mountains, the Westbury White Horse, and the apple orchards of Somerset. For those starting in North Somerset, expect to glide over the dramatic Cheddar Gorge, the ancient Glastonbury Tor, and the diverse wildlife of the Somerset Levels, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
