Adventure Balloons hot air balloon rides in South Hampshire take off from launch sites in Alton, Micheldever, Popham, West Meon and Winchester.
Balloon Flight Hampshire
In South Hampshire we fly from Anstey Park in Alton, from West Meon, from Micheldever near the railway station and from the City of Winchester. Depending on which site we take off from and the wind direction on the day, during the balloon ride you may see Winchester Cathedral, the rolling Hampshire countryside, the River Test, small villages such as Laverstoke, Whitchurch, and the Candovers. You may also see large estates such as Leckford on the River Test where Waitrose produce a lot of their food, the Mid Hants Steam Railway that runs from Alton to Alresford, a glider circling around Lasham airfield, or microlights flying from Popham airfield.
