About the experience
Who wouldn’t want to enjoy some cheese and cider with some of the best views around? In this Private Hot Air Balloon flight you’ll do just that, as you cruise across the countryside from a location of your choice. As you float through fields and incredible views, you’ll be able to sample some local Cheddars, Brie and refreshing cider alongside two friends or family members. Unlike other balloon trips, this one will be exclusive to your group alongside a pilot who will be controlling the altitude of your flight. Whether you get to see the glorious coastline, hills, lakes, cities or the big country houses that litter the area - it’s safe to say you’ll be spoiled for good views and won’t know where to look! Part of the excitement that comes with balloon flying is that your flight path is never certain, as your direction is determined by the wind on the day. But rest assured, the pilot will decide the meeting and departure point prior to your experience on the day. For the chance to soak up some incredible aerial views and taste the cheese and cider delicacies of Somerset, look no further! If you know one or two adventurous foodies who would love the chance to tuck into some delicious nibbles and enjoy the countryside, this Balloon Flight is the perfect experience!
