Stoke-on-Trent, also known as The Potteries, is steeped in creativity, craftsmanship, and a rich industrial past. Famous for its ceramics heritage, this vibrant city is surrounded by scenic countryside, pretty market towns, and sweeping parkland. Nestled between Staffordshire, Cheshire, and the Peak District, it’s perfectly placed for some of the most spectacular hot air balloon rides in the UK.
While there aren’t any balloon launch sites in Stoke-on-Trent itself, you’re spoilt for choice with a fantastic range of options just a short drive away. From the peaceful greenery of Staffordshire to the dramatic landscapes of Derbyshire and Shropshire, every flight offers its own flavour of magic.
Take off from Stafford and enjoy views of Cannock Chase and historic Stafford Castle. From Buxton, Tissington, or Bakewell, expect jaw-dropping panoramas of the Peak District’s hills, dales, and dramatic escarpments. Launching from Macclesfield or Nantwich, you’ll glide over charming Cheshire countryside, with winding rivers and patchwork fields below.
In Whitchurch, Shrewsbury, or Telford, soak in the beauty of Shropshire, including the Severn Valley, Ironbridge Gorge, and rolling green hills dotted with ancient woodland.
Whether you’re looking for romance, adventure, or a peaceful escape, a hot air balloon ride near Stoke-on-Trent offers an unforgettable journey above some of Britain’s most iconic landscapes.
