CIRENCESTER BALLOON FLIGHTS

Rise gently above the hustle and bustle of everyday life over the capital of the Cotswolds, Cirencester, on the hot air balloon flight of a lifetime. Undoubtedly one of the most picturesque regions of the country, the Cotswolds rewards with 360 degree views that leave a smile on your face that’s as broad as the horizon!

Take in the expanse of the Cotswold Water Park, a collective of over 150 lakes that encompass over 40 square miles and which are 50% larger than the Norfolk Broads. Or get lost in the romance of gazing out over a patchwork of green fields, historic market towns, quaint villages and winding laneways. Whichever way the breeze takes you, your Cirencester balloon flight will be one that’s truly unforgettable.

THINGS TO DO IN CIRENCESTER

Many would say that your first stop on your visit to Cirencester should be at the Corinium Museum, as here you can explore the history of the Cotswolds and discover more about Roman Cirencester, which at one stage was the second largest Roman town outside of London and major administrative centre of south-western Roman Britain.

For a take on a more contemporary Cirencester, check out the award winning New Brewery Arts – where modern day visual and performing arts combine with a theatre, art gallery, coffee shop and craft shop to provide for an interesting afternoon. With so much to see and do, Cirencester is worth taking a few days to explore, and with your vantage point from the hot air balloon, you’ll have ideas aplenty on how best to spend your time here.

Launch Site

CIRENCESTER BALLOONING LAUNCH SITE

Your Cirencester launch site will be communicated to you in good time so you know exactly where the pilot has chosen. There is a main Cirencester 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 CIRENCESTER BALLOON RIDE

As you drift gently over Cirencester 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 CIRENCESTER 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.
