Frampton-on-Severn, Gloucestershire

Gliding peacefully across beautiful countryside early on a summer morning, or in the evening is an unforgettable experience. Unlike other aircraft, you can watch the hot air balloon being assembled before your eyes - just like a giant tent ! Then climb aboard and admire the view from the basket - no doors closed, or windows to sit behind, it's all out in the fresh air. Fantastic !

The historical village of Frampton-on-Severn is about 9 miles south of Gloucester and close to The Noose area of the River Severn. It is reached from the M5 motorway at junction 13 and after a short distance along theA38 onto the B4071. The surrounding land is flat and low rising a little in the east. Cricket is played during the summer on the 22 acre village green and local buildings vary in design from medieval ‘cruck cottages’ to Victorian and Georgian elegant structures. The local unploughed fields, canal, River Severn and the Slimbridge Wetland Centre to the south, ensure an abundance of birds, plants and small mammals in the area.
