WHOOP HALL BALLOON FLIGHTS

Whether you are staying at the Whoop Hall Hotel just outside of Kirkby Lonsdale or perhaps you are just looking for things to do in the area, let the patchwork quilt of the gorgeous countryside unfold before you, on your hot air balloon ride adventure! Kirkby Lonsdale is a pretty little market town which flanks the three counties of Cumbria, Lancashire and North Yorkshire, so depending on the winds on the day you might find yourself floating just through one county, but from your peaceful perch in the sky, you should be able to see and compare all three which makes this particular balloon flight extra special!

With the breeze as your guide, rise up over the Whoop Hall grounds and let yourself be surprised at whatever might drift into view. One thing is for sure though, the iconic River Lune will be visible and if you follow it south with your eyes it will lead you to Lancaster and Lancaster Castle or northward and just off to the west from it, you might be able to spy Killington Lake a man made reservoir built in the 1800s to server the Lancaster Canal. Another thing that is certain is that with 360 degree vantage point, you’ll have views that reach far into the distance and far into the memory.

THINGS TO DO NEAR WHOOP HALL

Take some time, pre or post, balloon flight to relax and enjoy some of the local attractions. There are quite a lot of things to see and do around and near Whoop Hall despite it being in a relatively rural area.

Very close by is the small and quaint market town of Kirkby Lonsdale which is a picturesque starting point for heading out to explore your choice of either the Yorkshire Dales, the Forest of Bowland (an area of outstanding beauty and once referred to as the ‘Switzerland of England’) or even the Lake District.

Quite close to home you also have things like the Devil’s Bridge, a magnificent three arched structure thought to date back as far as the 12th or 13th centuries, which spans the River Lune. Or further afield (just under 20 miles away) you have the vibrant and quirky city of Lancaster, home to the simply captivating, historical Lancaster Castle!

For all of these reasons and more, embarking on a hot air balloon adventure from the grounds of Whoop Hall, make it a perfect launch location for a perfect hot air balloon ride!

The Flight

DURING YOUR WHOOP HALL BALLOON RIDE

As you drift gently over the Lancashire countryside near Whoop Hall, 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 WHOOP HALL BALLOON LANDING

After an unforgettable hour ballooning your pilot will begin your descent 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 Lancashire.
