We offer three exclusive launch locations in some of Derbyshire and the Peak District's most beautiful scenery. Each venue is steeped in history and engulfed by natural beauty.
We fly from three hand-picked locations across Derbyshire. Each venue is easily accessible, and offers breathtaking views of The Peak District National Park.
A historic village setting near Ashbourne, on the edge of Dovedale and Thorpe Cloud.
A traditional working farm nestled in the heart of the Peak District.
A rural venue on the outskirts of Buxton, tucked in the shadows of Chrome Hill.
Flights in Derbyshire can open up views across limestone dales, open farmland, historic towns, country estates and some of the Peak District’s best-known landmarks.
When you book a Derbyshire flight, you’re booking to fly in the Derbyshire 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 Tissington, Hartington and Buxton gives our pilots the flexibility to choose the best starting point for the conditions on the day, helping us offer the most scenic and enjoyable flight possible. From there, the wind decides the route, so no two Derbyshire flights are ever quite the same.
We’ll confirm your exact launch location before your flight as part of our normal pre-flight process.
