Stunning. Glorious. Uplifting. And simply unforgettable…
Let the beauty of Ullswater and the Lake District unfold before you as you drift gently overhead on a ballooning adventure of a lifetime!
Start your champagne Virgin Balloon flight at the impressive Dalemain Mansion and Gardens, located at the northern end of Ullswater which provides for a perfectly civilised way to start your ballooning escape over the captivating Lake District countryside.
As the unforgettable journey begins, be on the scout for Pooley Bridge, which takes its name from the 16th century crossing that spans the River Eamont on the northern tip of Ullswater, quite close to the Dalemain Estate. As you enjoy the breeze up high, so others will be embracing it down on the water as Ullswater is popular with all sorts of watercraft. You might even spot one of the steamers taking tourists on trips on the lake.
On landing you will be transported back to Dalemain Mansion – the perfect opportunity to explore the house and gardens (something you can do beforehand if you’re on an afternoon flight). With so much to see and do in this gorgeous part of the Lake District, you’re ballooning adventure can be either the perfect start or wonderful closure to some quality time exploring one of England’s most beautiful regions.

THE ADVENTURE BEGINS…
Having made your way to the launch site, you will meet your balloon crew at dawn and begin to feel the anticipation rising as the balloon envelope is laid out on the ground ready for inflation. This part of the experience takes about an hour.
If you’d like to help with the balloon inflation, that’s great. If not, just take in the crisp Windermere morning air and soak up the atmosphere as the burners ignite and start to fill the balloon with hot air.
