Valid 7 days am or pm Hot Air Balloon Flight at Paddock Wood

The grounds of Leeds Castle - "the loveliest castle in the world" - unquestionably offers one of the best hot air balloon launch sites in Kent. The site is backed up by superb alternative balloon ride launch venues should the need arise.

This experience will last a total of approx. 4 hours, with approx. 1 hour spent in the air. (We don't compromise on your time in the air. When comparing us with others, check the small print and the time actually spent in the air.)

Up, Up And Away

The lush green Weald of Kent provides a simply breathtaking spectacle when seen from the air. Few can resist the attraction as one hundred feet of wispy nylon majestically rises with the roar of the burners. The feeling of peace and tranquillity is heightened by the apparent lack of wind - because you're moving with it.

The Tapestry Below

Once in the air, your balloon travels up to heights of several thousand feet, allowing you to gaze down upon villages, towns and the countryside.

Picture This

The supremely steady balloon basket provides an excellent vantage point for aerial photography. This un-missable opportunity to record your trip is heightened by the ability of the pilot to turn the balloon using the 'rotation vents' - thus providing you with a truly panoramic view as you float through the air.

Wild Thing

You'll also have a good chance of spotting wildlife, particularly on morning flights. Views depend entirely on the wind direction on the day, which means every flight is a unique experience.

All Good Things....

We round off every balloon flight with a champagne celebration and a commemorative flight certificate presentation, making the occasion even more memorable and ensuring that the experience is one that will stay with you for years to come.
