The Flight
Guildford Ballooning
A hot air balloon ride over Guildford offers a unique opportunity to experience the enchanting landscape of Surrey from a serene and elevated perspective. As you lift off, the panoramic view opens up, revealing the picturesque countryside surrounding Guildford and the historic charm of the town itself. Guildford’s blend of historic architecture, rolling hills, and verdant green spaces creates a scene of timeless beauty that unfolds elegantly from above.
One of the most iconic landmarks you’ll spot is Guildford Castle, standing proudly with its well-preserved keep and beautifully manicured gardens. From above, the medieval structure showcases its remarkable design, with vibrant flowerbeds and ancient stonework that tell stories of the town’s long history. The castle, originally built in the 11th century, serves as a captivating focal point in the landscape, symbolising Guildford’s heritage and importance throughout history.
As you drift further, the River Wey comes into view, winding its way through Guildford and beyond. The river, with its reflective waters and tree-lined banks, adds a calming element to the flight, linking the town to the surrounding countryside. Dotted with quaint boats and historic mills, the River Wey highlights Guildford’s historical connection to trade and transport, and its curves and reflections offer a picturesque quality that is especially stunning from above.
