WARWICK BALLOON FLIGHTS

Allow a hot air balloon ride over Warwick to bring the best of Warwickshire views come to you. Launching from St Nicholas Park in the heart of Warwick, directly opposite Warwick Castle. It is this impressive building that will captivate your attention as you start to rise from the ground. What you see today is the evolution of what was originally a wooden fort, built by William the Conqueror in 1068. The structure that now dominates Warwick is the rebuilding of the motte-and-bailey fort into a stone castle. The castle sits on a bend of the River Avon and you’ll find it hard not to trace its north-south weaving as it snakes away.

But this balloon flight is more than just a unique castle view, as the breeze will direct you to other fabulous vistas out over the county. If you drift due east of Warwick, you’ll find yourself passing over Royal Leamington Spa, whilst a journey south-west will find the timber framed houses of Stratford-upon-Avon commanding your attention. No matter which direction your balloon journeys, you’ll find incredible 360 degree views out on horizon, that will take your breath away and then leave you with memories to last a lifetime.

THINGS TO DO IN WARWICK

Warwick is a fantastic location for a hot air balloon ride, as there is so much more to see and do to be able to make a real day of it. The castle of course requires no introduction, and no visit to Warwick is complete without learning a bit about its 1100 years of history and intrigue. Whilst there, witness the world’s largest working catapult fling a flaming fireball, climb 500 steps to get the top of the tallest tower or get lost in the Horrible Histories Maze! Warwick Castle tickets are great value for the entertainment they bring.

But there’s more to Warwick of course; for a broader insight into the history of the town and county, make your way to the Warwickshire Museum in the old Market Hall. Here you’ll find displays on the geology, natural history and early history of this wonderful part of the country. For a relaxing stroll and a brush with nature, The Mill Garden at the end of Mill Street, is renowned for the quality of its planting, as we its position lazing on the banks of the River Avon beneath the walls of the castle. On Mill Street you’ll also find the famed 15^th and 16^th century buildings that seem to transport you back in time to yesteryear just by their presence. That’s just a taster of what to expect if you make Warwick your launch location for both a day and an experience you’ll treasure forever.
