Walkeringham,
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 !
West
Bridgeford is a suburb situated to the south
of the Nottingham City boundary, divided
from it by the River Trent. There are many
places of architectural interest relating
to its recent Title as the County Town of
Nottinghamshire. To the south lies the local
golf course, the small town of Ruddington
with its ‘Framework Knitter’s Museum’ and
Rushcliffe Country Park. T o the north lies
the Trent Cricket Ground with parklands
and Camping grounds beyond. Nottingham Airport
is about 1 mile east of West Bridgeford.
Be aware that Hot Air Balloons are subject
to restrictions in the areas around airports
and airfields. (Not a bad idea, as the pilot
has only very limited control over the direction
of the balloon !) Residents of West Bridgeford
may therefore have to drive a short distance
away to a hot air balloon take-off point.
Passengers can choose
the location of their flight after purchasing
a voucher accepted for flights all over
the UK. Prices depend on number of passengers
- more passengers cost less per person.
