To the far east of England nestled north of the River Orwell estuary lies our newest Ipswich launch site on the fairways of the Fynn Valley Golf Club.
Set in the spectacular Suffolk countryside this delightful golf club is the picture perfect start to your Virgin Balloon Flights voyage. As you soar into the sky above the park land course the panoramic views will be sure to keep your head in the clouds as you watch the world go by below the basket.
Landmarks to keep a look out for include the well known Christchurch Mansion stately home, a Grade 1 listed building which hosts the work of artists such as John Constable and Thomas Gainsborough, or perhaps it will be the finely farmed fields or the historic churches that will catch your eye. For football fans, Ipswich Town’s Portman Road stadium will be a sight to see as you continue your journey.
With the Suffolk coastline in sight and numerous historic towns to pass by, what better place to begin your flight than Fynn Valley Golf Club? The club is open to members and visitors so a post-flight round of golf or refreshments in the clubhouse bar could offer a pleasant way to mark the end of your ballooning experience.
