A former wartime airfield, Gransden Lodge Airfield, just 10 miles west from the inspirational city of Cambridge with its beautiful architecture and historic buildings, is a super spot from which to launch into the majestic world of hot air ballooning.
Looking east towards Cambridge itself, the skyline is dominated by Kings College Chapel and Cambridge University Library along with the chimney of the Addenbrooke’s Hospital in the far south of the city and St John’s College Chapel.
If the wind carries you in a westerly direction look out for St Neots, the largest town in Cambridgeshire, on the valley of the River Great Ouse where you might be able to spot pleasure boats enjoying the mature river, the pretty market square or the nature reserve at Paxton Pits which is home to 19 species of dragonfly, many wild birds and even otters to name a few.
With beautiful countryside view all around this stunning area be sure to take your camera and prepare for some truly unforgettable ballooning memories.directionsGransden Lodge Airfield
