An East Sussex hot air balloon ride is a stunning way to experience the county’s rich history and beautiful landscapes. Launching from the charming town of Wadhurst, you’ll float peacefully over rolling countryside, with views stretching to Bewl Water, the High Weald AONB, and even the Battle of Hastings site on a clear day.
Wadhurst’s roots date back over 1,500 years, adding a historical touch to your sky-high adventure. Depending on the wind, you might also drift towards Royal Tunbridge Wells or glide west over unspoilt fields and woodlands.
Nearby launch sites in Headcorn and Tunbridge Wells also offer breathtaking flights. From Headcorn, take in the River Beult, traditional oast houses, and possibly The Big Cat Sanctuary. At The Hop Farm near Tunbridge Wells, enjoy views of Tudeley Woods, the River Medway, and the town’s elegant spa heritage.
Wherever you fly from, ballooning in and around East Sussex promises unforgettable views and a peaceful escape above some of southern England’s finest scenery.
