Launching from the oldest rugby club in Devon a hot air balloon ride over Tiverton provides a fabulous way to see this beautiful area from a completely new perspective, from anything up to 5,000ft.
Tiverton sits on a confluence of the River Exe and the River Lowman and its name literally means ‘the town on two fords’.
Once airborne, look out from your balloon basket and see if you can spot the Iron Age hill fort, Cranmore Castle standing atop Exeter Hill above the town. Above the banks of the River Exe on a cliffside also stands Tiverton Castle, now remains of a former castle comprising ruined perimeter walls, towers and buildings from various periods.
If the wind carries you in an easterly direction Ilminster and Shaftesbury might come into view.
Looking north you will see Exmoor National Park whilst south you’ll see Dartmoor National Park and Exmouth. Cameras at the ready for this is one area that provides some of the most captivating landscape panoramas!directionsTiverton launch site:- Tiverton Rugby Club
