hot air balloon rides over dalemain (nr penrith)

You’d have to be crazy to build a giant, grass-roofed cinema deep in the heart of the Cumbrian countryside right?

Well, Cumbria is a place like no other, and curious choices for keeping water off heads, surely make it one off the most ‘intriguing’ places to fly.

Its off the wall attractions don’t end there either. Eden Ostrich World invites visitors to come face-to-beak with the world’s tallest birds, while Wetheriggs Pottery gives craft lovers the chance to see Cumbria’s finest pottery produced using steam – yes, steam!

Did we mention Penrith’s breathtaking 14th century castle? Phew! So get your binoculars out day trippers, from the basket of a Virgin hot air balloon, Penrith’s got it all to see!
