MORDA HOT AIR BALLOON FLIGHTS
Due to the nature of hot air balloon flights, the perfect launch location is not always in built up areas. That is why you will often find launch sites near villages, in rural fields, or places that simply offer sufficient space for your hot air balloon to be fired up and then drift up and away without obstruction. One such launch location, among others, can be found in Shrophire and is from the grounds of Sweeney Hall located in the village of Morda just on the outskirts of Oswestry. It is important to be aware when purchasing vouchers the launch site address cannot be guaranteed until closer to launch date due to things like weather conditions, but there are other launch site choices in & around Shropshire, plus all over the West Midlands that your voucher will be valid for.

PLACES OF INTEREST NEAR MORDA
Did you know that a hot air balloon usually flies no further than 10 miles in an hour? This is a truly lazy and relaxed way of travelling! Of course, your eye can generally see things much farther away, but not when you are on the ground. When earthbound, scientific studies have shown that most people can only see things a maximum of 3 miles away.
Escape the Earth however, for example in a hot air balloon, and suddenly it is possible to see things dozens, even hundreds of miles away! Here are five things to test your new found super-vision with when taking off on your hot air balloon adventure from Westcott!
- an overhead view of the pretty market town of Oswestry
- the old Oswestry 3000 year old hill fort
- Heritage trains and railways
- Whittington Castle
- if the wind blows you northward, Chirk Castle

The Flight
DURING YOUR WESTCOTT BALLOON RIDE
As you drift gently over the Shropshire countryside near Morda, 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 MORDA 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 Shropshire.
