Wales is a land of legend, where dramatic valleys meet ancient castles and wild beauty stretches as far as the eye can see. A hot air balloon ride here is something truly special. As you gently drift above the countryside, you’ll witness the charm of quiet villages, rolling hills and timeless landscapes that have inspired poets, painters and dreamers for centuries.
Soaring over Wales is more than just a flight. It is an experience steeped in history and natural wonder, where wide countryside views and ancient landmarks combine to create one of the most atmospheric ballooning regions in Britain.
Launching from Llanarth near Raglan in Monmouthshire, you can enjoy spectacular views of the majestic Raglan Castle, the winding Usk Valley and miles of peaceful countryside. The landscape unfolds beneath you like a patchwork quilt of ancient woodlands, stone-built hamlets and distant hills.
Whether it is your first balloon ride or your fiftieth, flying over Wales promises unforgettable sights and that magical sense of escape only a hot air balloon can offer. It is an ideal choice whether you are planning your own adventure or looking for a hot air balloon ride for two.
