Balloon Rides in Launceston

Balloon flights in Cornwall can be a challenge. One thing few of our passengers think about is the fact that everywhere in Cornwall is incredibly close to the coast.

That's why are favorite flight meeting location for Cornwall is on the border to Devon in a town called Launceston.

Depending on the wind direction this ballooning location is fantastic for hot air balloon rides as it allows you to either fly towards Dartmoor and Devon or alternatively towards Bodmin in Cornwall. Both areas are superb and truly make for a once in a lifetime balloon flight.

Hot Air Ballooning over Cornwall

Cornwall has one of the mildest climates in Britain where Spring comes early and Autum lingers. This makes is an ideal county and region for Hot Air Ballooning. Allowing us to operate balloon rides from February through to the start of November.

A balloon ride in Cornwall will generally meet at Launceston or Bodmin and will then fly over the Cornish countryside allowing you to see the North and South coasts as well as nearby towns such as Truro, Newquay and the Devonshire town of Plymouth.

Ballooning in Cornwall can cost you up to £120 but make sure you choose a local operator such as Aerosaurus Hot Air Balloons or South West Balloon Flights as they both have been operating in the area the longest and have the most frequent balloon flights. Flying across the South West 7 days a week.
