A hot air balloon ride from Larmer Tree Gardens will carry you over magical gardens, colourful shrubs, striking displays of colourful flowers, tranquil woods, sunken dells and peacocks! They’re hard to miss with their stunning azure plumage and graceful presence – the peacocks of Larmer Tree Gardens wander regally around the seemingly enchanted grounds.
Set amidst the stunning Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Larmer Tree Gardens have been recognised by English Heritage as a Garden of National Importance. Notably, they were also the first privately owned gardens opened for the public to enjoy.
On the Dorset and Wiltshire border, Salisbury is set in rural England’s heartland. If the wind carries you northwards you will look out of your balloon basket over the cathedral city of Salisbury itself which is home to one of the finest medieval cathedrals in Britain. With the tallest spire in Britain you should be able to spot it towering above the pretty streets of the city. Look to the east and you will have stunning views over the New Forest National Park whilst westwards you might find yourself drifting serenely over Shaftesbury or Sherborne; one of the most beautiful towns in England with picturesque almshouses, a superb abbey and an abundance of medieval buildings.
With the World Heritage site of Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral and Longleat along with 13th century buildings, quaint tea rooms, a host of art and culture venues and 8,200 paths and trails to walk or cycle in Wiltshire, a hot air balloon ride over this delightful area will keep you entertained both in the air and down on the ground.directionsSalisbury (Larmer Tree Gardens) launch site:- Larmer Tree Gardens
