Swansea, perched on the stunning South Wales coastline, is a city full of character, charm, and coastal beauty. From its sweeping bay to the nearby Gower Peninsula – the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – this vibrant city is a gateway to some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Wales. Known for its rich maritime history, lively arts scene and beautiful green spaces, Swansea is a place where natural beauty and culture go hand in hand.
While there are no hot air balloon rides directly in Swansea, the closest launch site is in Raglan (Llanarth) – around an hour’s drive away. 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.
