Embrace the beauty of the Cornish countryside on a Liskeard hot air ballooning adventure. Let the scenery unfold as you climb above the collage of patchwork fields, snaking streams and villages that are dotted around the region.

Keep an eye out for the handsome grey-brown hues of the Church of St. Martin standing grandly in Liskeard, the glistening coastline on two horizons and the haphazard hedgerows that turn into copses of dense wood. This is arguably the finest way to take in the magic of Cornwall; this is hot air ballooning Liskeard style..!
