The Flight
Feering Ballooning
A hot air balloon ride over Feering offers a magical way to take in the gentle beauty of the Essex countryside. Nestled between Colchester and Chelmsford, it’s a wonderful launch location. As you lift into the sky, the landscape below unfolds like a patchwork quilt, with fields, vineyards, and quaint villages stretching out toward the horizon. Feering itself, a picturesque village with deep historical roots, provides a charming start to your journey, showcasing the character and heritage that makes this part of Essex so unique.
One of the first landmarks to come into view is the parish church of All Saints. With its classic English architecture and tranquil churchyard, this historic building stands as a testament to the village’s longstanding community spirit. From above, the church and its surroundings present a picture of rural charm that feels timeless, adding depth and context to the area’s rich history.
As you drift further along, the nearby River Blackwater snakes through the landscape, its reflective waters mirroring the green fields and hedgerows that line its banks. The river adds a serene quality to the view, and its winding path highlights the natural beauty of the region. Small boats may be seen gently bobbing along, adding to the peacefulness of the scene and reinforcing the sense of connection between the people of Essex and their surrounding environment.
