Appreciate the true beauty of a magnificent city when you take to the skies on a York hot air balloon ride.

When it comes to amazing views, balloon rides from York offer the best of both worlds – the historic walled city laid out below as you launch, before the wind gently takes you out over the glorious surrounding countryside.
Keep an eye out for many well-known landmarks, including the Gothic-style York Minster, the world famous National Railway Museum and Clifford’s Tower.
The right wind might even bring the historic Shambles into view – a beautiful old street lined with overhanging timber-framed buildings, some dating back to the 14th century. It’s widely accepted the Shambles was the likely inspiration for Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter book series.
A fabulous and unique adventure, nothing else compares to the amazing experience of a York hot air balloon flight.
