Peterborough Hot Air Balloon Rides

Drift Gently Above the Countryside in Peterborough

Peterborough, a city with rich industrial heritage, is known for its significant role in brick production, particularly the iconic 'Fletton bricks' that built much of the UK's housing stock.

Today, it offers something entirely different—serene skies and unforgettable views. Launching from the scenic Ferry Meadows in Nene Park, our hot air balloon rides reveal a striking contrast of nature and city. Drift peacefully above shimmering lakes, rolling meadows, quiet woodlands, and the distant urban skyline for a sky-high experience you’ll never forget.

Launching from Ferry Meadows in Nene Park, our big red balloon lifts you above a stunning patchwork of lakes, meadows, and woodlands. With panoramic views stretching from peaceful natural spaces to the city skyline, it’s the ideal spot to relax and take in the beauty of one of the UK’s most scenic areas.

For those exploring balloon rides near Peterborough, you’re spoilt for choice. Float over the historic town of Stamford, known for its 600 listed buildings and the River Welland. Soar above the peaceful waters of Rutland Water, with views of Oakham Castle and Barnsdale Wood.

Venture toward Grantham to spot Grimsthorpe Castle and Woolsthorpe Manor, the birthplace of Sir Isaac Newton. The Huntingdon launch offers sights of the charming market town, Grafham Water, and sweeping Cambridgeshire countryside.
