Cumbria is synonymous with the Lake District National Park and it’s hard to picture this area without thinking of dramatic landscapes filled with mountains and glorious lakes; a pretty spectacular back drop for a hot air balloon ride. The area was a true inspiration for writers Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth – we wonder if seeing these sights from the bird’s eye perspective of a balloon basket might inspire you to put pen to paper too!

In north west Cumbria, stands the most famous monument built by the Romans in Britain, Hadrian’s Wall. Whilst aboard your hot air balloon, you’ll be mesmerised by stunning landscape, castles, churches, mills, municipal buildings and many other famous tourist attractions, look out for Scafell Pike which is the highest point in the region.
