Hertfordshire’s medieval market towns, charming villages and rolling countryside are a delight to view from the spleandour of a hot air balloon. Historical landmarks such as Knebworth House and St Albans’ skyline dominated by medieval structures are super spots to begin an airborne adventure. Drifting east, you might spot Hatfield House, the preferred residence of Queen Elizabeth I. During World War I the first British tanks were tested here. With London as host to the 2012 Olympics, Lee Valley White Water Centre in Waltham Cross home of canoe slalom events may also be visible along with the BBC’s Elstree studios, the permanent filming location for Eastenders!
