Devon Balloon Rides

South West Balloon Flights have three meeting locations in the rural county of Devon – Exeter, Tiverton and on the outskirts of Plymouth, at Lee Mill.

There are so many wonderful sights to be seen whilst flying over England’s fourth largest county including the Jurassic coastline, ancient woodlands, castles and the stunning moorland of Exmoor and Dartmoor complete with the infamous tors. Clear days provide unparalleled views across this rolling landscape and out to sea – even as far as Lundy Island; and animal lovers will be particularly keen to see the wide array of wildlife from such a rare perspective.
