Journey In A Hot Air Balloon Over Leeds Castle And The Kent Countryside

The historian Lord Conway said of Leeds Castle that it was "the loveliest castle as thus beheld in the whole world" and few visitors today would disagree. Set on two islands surrounded by a moat, it has a fairy tale quality all of its own that accompanies you throughout your visit, whether you choose to lose yourself in the majesty of the banqueting hall of King Henry VIII or the complexity of the yew tree maze in its grounds.


Have you ever had a ride in a hot air balloon? If so we would love to hear all about your experiences (perhaps with a photo or two). You can contact us via our contact page.


Hot Air Balloon Over Leeds CastleAnd for the true romantics among us, why not combine the sheer beauty of Leeds Castle with a flight in a hot air balloon over the surrounding countryside?

Flying from the castle just after sunrise or as the sun is about to set, you will embark on an exhilarating yet tranquil journey over the Kent countryside and its towns and villages. As you drift away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life in your basket, the world seems to take on a brand new perspective.

Balloon flights are available from March to November inclusive and prices start at £120 per passenger and include entrance to Leeds Castle and its grounds for the day, your flight ticket and insurance, and post-flight celebrations and certificate. Flights typically last about an hour and cover anything from eight to 15 miles, but allow up to four hours in total for the preparations and post-flight celebrations.
