The Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is renowned for its stunning lakes, dramatic mountains, and lush valleys. A hot air balloon ride here offers an unparalleled way to experience this breathtaking region. From above, you’ll see the majestic Ullswater, historic Carlisle, and the expansive Graythwaite Estate. Drift over picturesque landscapes that inspired literary giants like Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth, making every flight an unforgettable adventure.
Take life higher with a hot air balloon ride over the Lake District – one of the UK’s most iconic landscapes. With dramatic fells, sparkling lakes and literary heritage woven into every view, it’s the ultimate way to explore Cumbria from above.
From the stunning Graythwaite Estate, lift off over 5,000 acres of private woodland and gardens. This scenic estate was once the inspiration for Beatrix Potter’s stories, including The Fairy Caravan and the home of Jeremy Fisher himself. It’s a magical spot to begin your airborne adventure.
Further north, the Dalemain Estate offers breathtaking views of Ullswater, England’s second-largest lake. As you float above the water, look out for Pooley Bridge, Howtown, and the very landscape that inspired William Wordsworth’s Daffodils.
Or take off from Carlisle, just 10 miles from the Scottish border. This historic city offers views of Carlisle Castle, the North Pennines AONB, and even Hadrian’s Wall. On a clear day, you might spot Kielder Forest or the Solway Coast stretching into the distance.
Wherever the wind takes you, a Lake District hot air balloon ride promises wide-open skies, peaceful moments, and spectacular scenery you’ll never forget.
