Champagne Hot Air Balloon Rides in Somerset & Wiltshire
You can see for miles and miles and miles and miles……
A mixture of Celtic myth and coastal moors, Somerset offers the highflying traveller striking natural landscapes, ancient historical sites and stunningly long views.
A hot air balloon flight in Somerset comes packed with highs and low, views of Cheddar, Britain's highest inland limestone cliff formation with the natural phenomenon of Britain's largest gorge and the beautiful Somerset Levels, a great swathe of low-lying wetlands the most important of their type in the world, home to many species of wetland birds and wild flowers and stretching away as far as the eye, even a bird’s eye, can see.
Fly on a balloon ride over Somerset with Ballooning Network and you’ll see the lie of the land in the land of lay lines.

Flying east from Bath, your hot air balloon ride will take you out over the beautiful landscape of Wiltshire, the Gateway to the West Country, and shadow the historic Kennet & Avon Canal, which weaves through spectacular scenery on its way from Bath through Trowbridge to Devizes. Just south of Trowbridge or north of Devizes you may see some of the famous Wiltshire White Horses carved into the hillsides, exposing the chalk beneath.
Much of North Wiltshire is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with wooded river valleys, rolling downs and timeless stone villages, including Castle Combe, acclaimed as England's prettiest village and the National Trust village of Lacock.
Depending on wind conditions, Ballooning Network hot air balloon flights may also launch from the Cumberwell Park Golf Club on the outskirts of the ancient Saxon town of Bradford-on-Avon.
