Hot Air Balloon Rides – One of life’s great experiences which is probably easier to arrange now than at any time in the past is a hot air balloon ride or hot air balloon flight, whichever you prefer to call it. Throughout the United Kingdom there are dozens of great launch sites from where you can experience this amazing adventure for yourself, or maybe purchase a trip for a loved one or friend. Float serenely across the British countryside and get spectacular views of villages, towns and exciting attractions, experience the quiet tranquility of a flight with no noisy engines or propellers. Sip a glass of champagne and drink a toast to a wonderful lifetime experience, but be prepared to be hooked and want to go again and again. Some of the great venues from where you can experience hot air balloon rides are the Cotswolds, Kent, Buckinghamshire, Norfolk, Scotland, Devon, Dorset, Sussex and Gloucestershire, in fact almost all Uk counties have launch sites.
