Having visited Cheltenham, Charles Dickens then wrote, "Rarely have I seen such a place that so attracted my fancy,"……..and he had his feet firmly on the ground.

For our pilots and passengers who clearly don’t, the whole vista is even more spectacular. Cheltenham is a perfect place for hanging around with your head in the clouds and your feet in a basket.

The tops of fine churches, a peek into parkland, a glimpse over a wall into a regency house or garden, this hot air balloon trip is a beautiful way to capture the hidden beauty of a historic market town at a leisurely pace. And there’s more on the horizon – as you fly into the Vale of Severn or head out over the Cotswolds.

Ballooning Network has organised several select locations from which to take you away. Our launch sites include Cheltenham Racecourse, the home of the National Hunt festival held in March each year with its Champion hurdle and nail biting Gold Cup.
