Bailey Balloons offer hot air balloon flights from launch sites that are
carefully chosen to fly over the beautiful countryside of South West England and
South Wales.
Balloon Rides Bristol - If you take a champagne balloon flight from Bristol you
may fly over the historic harbourside of Bristol, or the Clifton Suspension
Bridge which was built by Brunel and crosses the River Avon set in the deep cut
gorge. Bristol is home to the SS Great Britain and Temple Meads, which was also
designed by Brunel as well as the stunning Redcliffe Church and Bristol
Cathedral.
There are also many open spaces in Bristol such as the Downs and Bristol Zoo.
Thornbury with its beautiful Thornbury Castle, one of our launch sites, sits in
the valley of the River Severn with views of the two Severn Bridges. Further
afield you may also fly over the splendid Mendip Hills, the Chew Valley, Cheddar
Gorge, Glastonbury, Wookey Hole or Wells Cathedral.
Bristol's historical sites include Stanton Drew or Burrington Combe. Westonbirt
Arboretum is especially spectacular in the Autumn but lovely at any time of
year. It is also near to Badminton which is famous for the Badminton Horse
Trials. Other seaside towns in the area worth seeing are Weston-Super-Mare,
Clevedon and Portishead.
