A green sanctuary in the patchwork quilt of England.

Why Taunton is a Nature Lover's Dream.
The Vale is flanked by three distinct range of hills - the Quantocks, the Blackdowns and the Brendons. This geography creates a theatre of green where the views stretch across the heart of Somerset.
This is also our premier location for wildlife spotting. Without the engine noise of the city, the silence of the balloon allows you to glide over the landscape undetected. It's not uncommon to see deer bounding through crop and forest clearings, hare sprinting into the distance and birds of prey circling thermal beneath you.
As you into the countryside the landscape reveals a collection of historic manor houses and grand stone estates that feel like hidden gems tucked away in the countryside.

Landmarks to Look For.
While the wind maps out your specific journey, a flight over the Taunton area often reveals:
The Vale of Taunton Deane
A spectacular expanse of lush, rolling farmland that looks like a hand-stitched quilt from 2,000 feet.
St Mary Magdalene Church
Look for the magnificent, highly decorated Somerset tower that has dominated the Taunton skyline since the 15th century.
The Quantock Hills
To the North, you'll see the wild, heathland ridges of the UK's first Area of Outstanding National Beauty.
Vivary Park
A splash of manicured Victorian green in the heart of the town, often bustling with life far below.
Somerset County Cricket Club
Even if there isn't a match on, the iconic club was home to legends like Sir Viv Richards and Sir Ian Botham.
