Leicestershire Hot Air Balloon Rides

A hot air balloon ride in Leicestershire offers a truly magical way to experience this beautiful county. With its rolling countryside, ancient woodlands, and historic landmarks, Leicestershire is the perfect place to take to the skies. From the peaceful serenity of floating above patchwork fields to the thrill of spotting grand estates and rivers winding through picturesque villages, every flight reveals something special.

There are two key launch sites within Leicestershire. From Market Harborough, you might spot the scenic Foxton Locks, the historic Harborough Museum, and the lush Welland Valley. Launching from Lutterworth (Stanford Hall), enjoy views of the magnificent Stanford Hall estate and the surrounding countryside. At Rutland Water, which borders Leicestershire, you’ll soar over one of the UK’s largest man-made lakes, with views of Oakham Castle, Barnsdale Wood, and the idyllic village of Upper Hambleton.

If you're based nearby, additional launch sites just outside Leicestershire offer equally impressive views. From Stoke Rochford Hall near Grantham, admire the hall’s stunning gardens and the surrounding Lincolnshire landscape. Each flight promises a unique adventure, offering a peaceful yet exhilarating way to experience the heart of the East Midlands from above.
