Expansive. Captivating. Epic. And Simply Unforgettable…
Let the wild beauty of Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales drift into view on an utterly magical hot air ballooning adventure of a lifetime!
If you’re looking for a hot air balloon ride to take your breath away, then a champagne flight from Kirkby Lonsdale could be just the escape you’ve been looking for. Taking advantage of its location in South Lakeland, Kirkby Lonsdale has dramatic vistas on its doorstep, and is the perfect launchpad to create memories that will, quite simply, last a lifetime.
Immediately to the east, expansive views over the brooding Yorkshire Dales summon the eye and refuse to let go. This blend of brooding, wild beauty and human thumbprints in the form of quaint villages and dramatic viaducts offer up views that you’ll want to capture with your camera and your heart. Should you drift westward, the Arnside and Silversdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty will surely captivate you, as will the unmistakeable natural skyline of the beautiful Lake District that lies slightly further to the north.
If the breeze carries you south, you’ll follow the path of the River Lune, which is one of the first sights to greet you as you start to rise on your balloon ride overhead, and one that lets you know, you’re about to experience this beautiful part of the world from a whole new, unforgettable perspective. This is ballooning, Kirkby Lonsdale and South Lakeland style!

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 Lake District morning air and soak up the atmosphere as the burners ignite and start to fill the balloon with hot air.
