Graythwaite Estate (Back-Up Site)

About

Beautiful Graythwaite Hall is one of our spectacular back-up launch sites for Lake District hot air balloon rides. Your flight may be moved here on the day.

Set in seven acres of stunning grounds, the gardens are open to the public from early April until August.

The entire Graythwaite Estate spans across 5,000 beautiful acres of the English Lake District, including the woodlands in which author Beatrix Potter set her story 'The Fairy Caravan'.

And the home of one of her most famous characters, gentleman frog Jeremy Fisher, was Esthwaite Hall, which sits within the Graythwaite Estate.

Enjoy a truly unforgettable flying experience with our once-in-a-lifetime Lake District hot air balloon rides.
