Kent Hot Air Balloon Rides

You can explore the skies of Kent with Virgin Balloon Flights from several of our picturesque launch sites. Each offers a unique view of the county's stunning landscapes and historic landmarks. Here’s your guide to where you can lift off and what you might see during your journey:

Tunbridge Wells Hot Air Balloon Ride

Lift off from the spa town of Tunbridge Wells and drift over the scenic High Weald, an area of outstanding natural beauty. As you ascend, you may catch a glimpse of the sprawling woodlands and open heaths that make this region so special.

Headcorn Hot Air Balloon Ride

Headcorn, in the heart of the Kent Downs, offers spectacular views of this rolling landscape. From this vantage point, the panoramic sights might include the meandering River Medway and the historic town of Maidstone. On a clear day, the distant North Downs provides a stunning backdrop to your flight.

Hollingbourne (Near Leeds Castle) Hot Air Balloon Ride

Launching near Leeds Castle, often referred to as 'the loveliest castle in the world', this flight provides an unrivalled opportunity to view the castle from above. Set on two islands on the River Len, the castle and its lush gardens are a sight to behold from the skies.

Canterbury Hot Air Balloon Ride

Take off from the historic city of Canterbury and enjoy aerial views of its famous cathedral and the ancient city walls. As you float higher, the countryside opens up around you, offering a splendid vista of both the city and the surrounding Kent Downs.

Wadhurst Hot Air Balloon Ride

Although slightly outside Kent, this launch site offers a unique perspective on the Kentish landscape from the west. Soar above the border areas and look east to see the Kent Downs and, possibly, the High Weald stretching out towards the horizon.

Each flight path promises breathtaking views and the opportunity to see Kent's most cherished landscapes and landmarks from a new perspective. Whether you’re soaring near the historical sites or over the natural beauty of the countryside, a hot air balloon ride in Kent is an unforgettable experience.
