Hot Air Balloon Flights
... in London and South Central England
If you think you've already seen all that London, Oxfordshire, Surrey,
Berkshire, Hampshire and Hertfordshire have to offer, think again! Until you've
seen Tower Bridge from the air or experienced the serenity of the Oxfordshire
countryside from hundreds of feet above the ground, you haven't finished
exploring this beautiful part of the country.
Balloon Rides in London - London, famous for its many attractions, is just as
spectacular from the air as it is on the ground. Flying silently overhead, a hot
air balloon flight may allow you to see some of London's best loved attractions
such as the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge, St Paul's
Cathedral, Lambeth and Buckingham Palace. Other famous landmarks that may be
pointed out include the MI5 building, the London Eye, Covent Garden Market and
Hyde Park.
Balloon Rides in Oxfordshire - Possibly most famous for the Oxford colleges and its
Dreaming Spires, a balloon flight over Oxfordshire will also provide beautiful
views of the Thames or Cherwell rivers.
Balloon Rides in Surrey - Take a hot air balloon flight over Surrey and you'll be
greeted by beautiful countryside and many picturesque villages. The county is
known for its many stately homes, historical attractions such as Farnham and
Guildford Castles and Waverley Abbey. There are large areas of woodland and
Black Lake where A A Milne ws inspired to write Winnie the Pooh.
Balloon Rides in Hampshire - In addition to a glimpse of impressive Winchester
Cathedral, a balloon flight over Hampshire offers the possibility of views of
beautiful countryside and country houses in beautiful parkland settings. From a
bygone age, some of these stately homes still remain in private hands while
others have been converted into luxury hotels and country clubs. You may also
see the Basingstoke Canal winding its way through the countryside, flanked by
beautiful villages.
Balloon Rides in Berkshire - A balloon flight over Berkshire will offer a unique
view of the Thames as it flows through Reading with its Victorian red-brick
houses, medieval churches and old coaching inns.
Balloon Rides in Hertfordshire - A balloon flight over Hertfordshire may provide
views of England's great historical sites such as the ancient Roman site at St.
Albans and the abbey. You may also be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the
famous Royal National Rose Garden with its collection of over 30,000 roses.
Other historical buildings and beautiful, green parks that may be seen include
Aldenham Country Park, Knebworth Park, Jacobean Hatfield House and Milton's
Cottage where the famous poet completed "Paradise Lost".
