Beeston, 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 !

Beeston, a suburban town south east of Nottingham, formerly a coal-mining area is now continuous with the former villages of Chillwell and Wollaston. Its eastern environs are close to the main campus of the University of Nottingham and a favourite residential area for its students. The old part of the town lies on river gravel, it being a conveniently raised area for avoiding flooding from the River Trent to the south. It is said to be the birthplace of author D.H.Lawrence. Beeston is also the location of a famous horse market. . To enjoy a hot air balloon flight over this area buy a voucher today – see the links to the right.
