Annesley Woodhouse, Nottinghamshire

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 !

Annesley Woodhouse is a town situated close to the junction of the M1 motorway at junction 27 and the A608. It is within easy reach of Felley Priory to the south and extensive countryside to the south alongside the motorway. The Derbyshire boundary lies approximately 3.5 miles to the west separated from Annesley Woodhouse by the motorway and the villages of Selston, Jacksdale and Bagthorpe. The villages of Annesley, with Annesley Hall, a fine example of a country mansion, and Newstead, with Newstead Abbey, home of Lord Byron, are situated within a mile to the east. The village of Nuncargate lies to the north, just south of Kirkby-in-Ashfield. This is an interesting place from which to enjoy a hot air balloon ride.
