STEVENAGE BALLOON FLIGHTS

Take to the skies over the countryside over Stevenage, on a ballooning adventure that will take in some of the best views of what is described as, ‘The Northern Home County’! The quintessential patchwork of quaint villages, bustling towns and internationally known landmarks, makes for the perfect launch location for your Hertfordshire balloon ride.

Experience the thrill inflating the balloon in the invigorating breeze of the morning, or prior to the romantic glow of an evening flight. As you rise up over the handsome Knebworth House, let the glorious Hertfordshire countryside drift into view, including Stevenage itself, country houses, broad open lakes and many other captivating sights that will create memories that last a lifetime.

THINGS TO DO IN STEVENAGE

After a glorious balloon ride over Stevenage and its surrounds, it will be time to explore this interesting town, that sits just 28 miles north of London and yet is a world away. Known as the country’s ‘Space City’, as astonishingly, nearly one quarter of the satellites orbiting Earth, were built right here! You can discover the town’s journey through time from being a Saxon settlement, right through to this space age connection at the Stevenage Museum on St George’s Way.

Staying in Stevenage itself, head to the old town and its collection of quaint shops, great choice of restaurants and busy nightlife. For a closer inspection of the glorious scenery you took in from your balloon’s basket, consider heading to Fairlands Valley Park – 120 acre of beautiful parkland that boasts 20 acres of lakes, including the 11 acre sailing lake where you can canoe, windsurf or powerboat to your heart’s content. Or for some rock star action, a visit to Knebworth House is a must. With its domes, turrets and menacing gargoyles, it’s quite the location!

Famed for its music festivals, garden shows and multitude of activities, Knebworth Park is well worth considering a longer stay – especially as, conveniently, this is where your balloon flight will launch from!
