Hot air balloons over Crook O’ Lune
Described as one of the most picturesque spots in north west England, Lancashire’s Crook O’ Lune lies on the cusp of a large meander in the river Lune on the doorstep of the Lake District. This popular spot provides the perfect launch site for Virgin hot air balloon flights showcasing Lancashire’s stunning scenery.
From the basket you may see quaint Kirkby Lonsdale to the south east of Kendal, or the historical city of Lancaster rich in cultural heritage and home to its own castle, owned by none other then Her Majesty the Queen.
The beauty of Crook O' Lune was famously captured by the inspiring artist JMW Turner, and eloquently illustrated by the poets Thomas Gray and William Wordsworth. Only a place of such natural wonder and encouraging landscapes could have instigated these eminent works of art.

Whether your flight follows the ramble of the river Lune, drifts above the rolling countryside or floats over the commotion of urban lifestyle, you’ll be sure to take away everlasting memories.directionsCrook O' Lune launch site:- The postcode for the meeting point for this launch site is LA2 9NB.
