Discover the beauty of Cheshire & Shropshire from our two exclusive, hand-picked venues. Both locations set the perfect stage for an unforgettable aerial adventure.

We fly from two private locations on either side of the Cheshire–Shropshire border, easily accessible from the North West and beyond.
A prestigious country-pub near Nantwich, surrounded by endless views of Cheshire's best offerings.
A beautiful lakeside venue on the edge of Whitchurch, surrounded by water, woodland and rolling Shropshire countryside.
Flights from Cheshire & Shropshire open up views across the Cheshire Plain, rolling Shropshire hills, canals, lakes, sandstone ridges and historic market towns.
When you book a Cheshire & Shropshire flight, you’re booking to fly in the area rather than from one specific launch location.
Hot air balloons cannot be steered like other aircraft — they travel with the wind. Having launch sites at Nantwich and Whitchurch gives our pilots the flexibility to choose the best starting point for the conditions on the day. From there, the wind decides the route, so no two flights are ever quite the same.
We’ll confirm your exact launch location before your flight as part of our normal pre-flight process.
