Ludlow Hot Air Balloon Ride

Fun & Interesting Facts

Ludlow has almost 500 listed buildings, including lots of medieval and timbered Tudor architecture, and was once described by late Poet Laureate Sir John Betjeman as ‘probably the loveliest town in England’.

About

Take life higher on a truly stunning South Shropshire hot air balloon ride from Ludlow.

A truly unforgettable experience awaits as you go up, up and away across some of the UK’s most beautiful rural landscapes.

Wherever the wind takes you, breath-taking views to the horizon stretch out in every direction.

To the north lie the Shropshire Hills, a glorious vista well deserving of its accolade as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Or you could be lucky enough to fly over the attractive town of Ludlow itself, with its winding streets and beautiful old buildings, including the impressive Ludlow Castle.

To the south lies the Herefordshire border and miles of unspoilt countryside.

Our big red balloon launches from Stokesay Court, just north of Ludlow itself - a magnificent late-Victorian mansion made famous as the primary filming location for the movie ‘Atonement’, starring Keira Knightly and James McAvoy.

Take to the skies for a magnificent South Shropshire hot air balloon ride with the UK's No.1 passenger balloon flights operator.
