Carlisle Hot Air Balloon Rides

A Carlisle hot air balloon ride offers a one-of-a-kind experience, lifting you above some of the most stunning scenery in the north west of England. From high above, take in views of the historic Carlisle Castle, the dramatic landscapes of the Lake District National Park, and, on a clear day, the North Pennines and the Solway Coast. Floating gently through the skies, you’ll experience the tranquillity and beauty of the region in a way few ever do.

Launching just 10 miles from the Scottish border, our Carlisle flights offer a truly unique perspective over centuries of history. Look out for iconic landmarks such as the 900-year-old Carlisle Castle and remnants of Hadrian’s Wall as they come into view from the basket of our iconic big red balloon.

For those wanting to explore even more of Cumbria from above, our nearby launch site at Dalemain (Ullswater) offers an unforgettable flight over the stunning North Lakes. Soar above Ullswater, England’s second-largest lake, and take in the picturesque village of Pooley Bridge, the winding River Eamont, and hidden gems like Howtown. The patchwork of rolling hills and peaceful countryside below makes for a truly memorable adventure.

With additional launch sites nearby, there are even more chances to discover the natural beauty and rich heritage of the region from a completely new perspective.
