From here, you'll take to the skies over the peaceful Welsh countryside, with views that stretch across rolling green hills, patchwork farmland, and ancient woodland. You may even spot the striking Raglan Castle, a medieval fortress nestled in the landscape below. With the right wind, you might also catch glimpses of the Brecon Beacons in the distance. It’s the perfect place for a sky-high escape and a truly unforgettable ballooning adventure.
