Hot Air Balloon Rides and Balloon Flights over Dorset

Discover Hardy's "Wessex" with the greatest of ease on a hot air balloon flight over this beautiful county, with rolling countryside and it's heritage Jurassic coastline. Dorset is fantastic patchwork of fields, farm land and small forests.

Take a balloon ride from Shaftesbury or as Hardy called it in his fiction "Shaston", Dorset's famous hilltop town. Along with its many fine historical buildings, Shaftesbury has one very famous cobbled street. Gold Hill was featured in the Hovis bread advert where a young boy pushes his loaf-laden bike up the slope to the sound of Dvorak's "New World" Symphony. Taking off on hot air balloon rides from Shaftesbury you may spy ancient Wardour Castle and nearby villages such as Sturminster Newton, Motcombe and Cherry Orchard to name but a few.
