Take in magnificent views of Prested Hall, Kelvedon and of course Feering as you embark on a hot air ballooning experience of a lifetime! Lose yourself in the moment as you rise gently above the gorgeous Essex countryside and get immersed into the natural beauty of the quaint villages, meandering rivers and striking landmarks that make up your ballooning vistas.
As you drift effortlessly overhead, be on the lookout for windmills of course – perhaps even the ‘Thaxed’ windmill of John Webb’s masterpiece and Dick Turpin fame. Allow your eyes to follow the River Blackwater and the numerous settlements that have grown up on its banks over the years. Whichever way the breeze take you, your hot air balloon flight from Feering will ignite the senses.
There’s plenty to do to fill a leisurely day after your ballooning adventure in Essex. Why not consider coming back down to earth with a walk around historic Kelvedon? The local parish council have five suggested Kelvedon walks that you can print off and follow at your own pace. We’d recommend stopping off occasionally for some liquid refreshment of course.
Feering is also well placed for both visits to Braintree and Colchester, both of which offer plenty of things to do, places to eat and stores for browsing. Closer to Feering, you can visit the Tiptree museum and jam factory to learn a bit more about this iconic company.

You can leave your car at the launch site as this is where your ballooning experience will finish.
Your unforgettable balloon ride will start with a full safety briefing, after which you you can help the team with the the inflating of the balloon if you wish – or kick back, soak up the atmosphere and let others do the hard work. But when it’s time, there is no escaping the collective excitement as the burners fire up and the balloon starts to prepare itself for taking you up, up and away on a ballooning adventure over Essex!
As you drift gently over Feering and Essex countryside there will be ample opportunity to take photographs from this unique vantage point. During your flight you are free to discuss how the balloon works with the pilot, who will also be pointing out the many points of interest that drift below you or rest gently on the horizon.
No two flights are the same, and as such any number of towns, villages and important landmarks could come into view – all of which create talking points for years to come.
After an unforgettable hour ballooning your pilot will begin your decent towards a gentle landing. Once back on the ground, and should you wish, you can help in packing away the envelope (that’s the official name for the fabric canopy).
With the balloon all packed away, you will be transferred back to your launch site where you can sip on the fine stuff and raise a toast to an unforgettable adventure hot air ballooning over Essex.
