CHELTENHAM BALLOON FLIGHTS

Famed for its natural springs, Cheltenham is a picture postcard montage of garden squares and handsome Regency architecture – and there’s no better way to take it all in than from the basket of a hot air balloon. And as you rise up over the gorgeous Gloucestershire countryside, the full beauty of the area unfolds before you.

With the Royal Forest of Dean, Cleeve and Bredon Hills and the Cotswold charms of the Severn Vale all vying for your attention, allow the breeze to guide you some of England’s finest countryside on a hot air ballooning experience that will create memories that last a lifetime.

THINGS TO DO IN CHELTENHAM

For the visitor, Cheltenham serves up a smorgasbord of choices – from the Cheltenham Art Galley and Museum on Clarence Street, where paintings, sculptures, archaeology and history are brought together to tell tales from through the ages, to the Cotswold Motor Museum where you can cruise through a century of motoring magic.

You might also wish to consider a stroll around The Suffolks shopping village which you can locate tucked away behind Montpellier Terrace. Here you can browse the antique stores, boutiques, artisan jewellers before grabbing a well deserved coffee. With such a diversity of history and contemporary culture, Cheltenham Spa really is the perfect ballooning launchpad.

Launch Site

CHELTENHAM BALLOONING LAUNCH SITE

Your Cheltenham launch site will be communicated to you in good time so you know exactly where the pilot has chosen. There is a main Cheltenham launch site and a number of back up sites that can be used to get you aloft!

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 Gloucestershire!

The Flight

DURING YOUR CHELTENHAM BALLOON RIDE

As you drift gently over Cheltenham and Gloucestershire 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.

Landing

YOUR CHELTENHAM BALLOON LANDING

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 Gloucestershire.
