BELTON WOODS BALLOON FLIGHTS

Let the Lincolnshire beauty unfold before you on a hot air balloon ride from Belton Woods, just a couple of miles from Grantham town centre. Set in 475 of picture perfect countryside, the Belton Woods Hotel is a natural launch site for ballooning. As you rise gently upwards, the first point of interest you’ll see will be Belton House, a handsome residence built for Sir John Brownlow in the 1680’s.

If you look south, the 282 foot tall spire of St Wulfrum’s Church in Grantham is easy to spot as it pierces the sky; and right next door is Grantham House, a striking townhouse now in the stewardship of the National Trust. On the whim of the wind your balloon will drift over a classic patchwork of fields, thickets, meandering rivers and a scattering of quintessential English villages. With endless horizons and 360 degree views, let a balloon from Belton Wood give you a truly unique perspective of Lincolnshire.

THINGS TO DO NEAR BELTON WOODS

As your balloon flight takes off from the Belton Woods Hotel, why not consider staying a night or two and enjoy the hotel’s facilities (including a super pool and 18 hole golf course)? Just across High Road is Belton House, where you can spend some time relaxing in the grounds (1,300 acres in total) and maybe enjoying a picnic at the lake, or even a spot of punting on it!

Belton is just outside of Grantham, and that is where you should head next. Having seen the towering spire from the air, take a stroll to St Wulfrum’s to see this striking building up close. Maybe pass by the famous school where Sir Isaac Newton and Margaret Thatcher were pupils or head to the Grantham Museum on St Peter’s Hill, for some immersion into local history. Or for some real grandeur, head over to Belvoir Castle, home to the Duke of Rutland and marvel at this Regency masterpiece! No matter how you spend your time, you can book your flight knowing your balloon ride here will be one to remember.
