About

A sky-high adventure awaits on a stunning Swindon hot air balloon ride from the beautiful Lydiard Park.

Go up, up and away in our big red balloon and experience breath-taking views you will never forget.

Watch acres of glorious parkland get further and further away beneath the basket as you head wherever the wind takes you across breath-taking Wiltshire countryside.

Swindon itself stretches away to the east while to the west lies Bristol and the border with Somerset.

With the right south-east wind on a clear day, you may even be able to see the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the far distance.

No other flying experience comes close to the unique combination of exhilaration and relaxation you get when you take to the skies on our Swindon hot air balloon ride.
