There is no better way to see the best of Aylesbury than from the basket of a hot air balloon flight over the gorgeous Buckinghamshire countryside. Discover why this part of the country afford such inspiration to Roald Dahl and helped him bring his children’s books characters to life.
On the whim of the wind take in views of the Aylesbury Vale and the rolling Chiltern Hills as the scenery opens up before you as you drift effortlessly overhead. Take in the striking Waddeston Manor or the old historic square of Aylesbury town. Whichever way the breeze take you, your hot air ballooning memories will last a lifetime.
Take in the architectural journey of Aylesbury with a stroll around the St Mary’s Church area. Here you can see historic buildings that range from the Tudor and Jacobean era, through to Georgian.
For a bite to eat and a few moments to reflect on your ballooning adventure, head to the Kingsbury quarter, the hub of the town’s cafe culture and perfect for a spot of al fresco dining.

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 Aylesbury!
As you drift gently over Aylesbury and the Buckinghamshire 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 Buckinghamshire.
