Virgin Balloon Flights will now be providing your hot air balloon flight over Oxford, Aylesbury, Henley-Upon-Thames and the surrounding areas.

While some of the below launch sites may still be used, you can find an up-to-date list of all the launch sites used by Virgin here.

Our hot air balloon rides take off from launch sites in Oxford, Great Missenden and Aylesbury and sites in and around Henley Upon Thames, giving you fantastic coverage of our flight area over Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. We regularly see all of these towns from above, giving us a bird’s eye view of the beautiful architecture and history of these ancient settlements.

From your hot air balloon, you will be guaranteed amazing and serene views of some of the most fantastic scenery in central and southern England, along with bustling Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire towns, romantic villages, winding rivers, and some of the most impressive properties and estates in the entire country – our hot air balloons often fly over Waddesdon Manor, which used to be home to the Rothschild family before it was handed over to the National Trust to become one of their most popular properties. It is an extraordinary sight from the basket of a hot air balloon. We regularly also see Chequers, the Prime Minister’s residence, from above, and often see Canary Wharf and Wembley Stadium in London.
