A balloon flight-ride over Norwich is quite a delight. Norwich is indeed a ‘fine city’. Flying over Norwich in the balloon you will see a wealth of modern and ancient architecture. A host of medieval churches and the magnificent Norman cathedral and Norwich castle dating back to the eleventh century. Ballooning over the city centre you will see the Forum, in inspirational modern design located adjacent the church of Peter Mancroft. During a weekend you may well hear the cheering crowds in support of Norwich city football club at carrow road. As the hot air balloon gains height the Norfolk broads come clearly into view to the east. These low lying wetlands encompass the broads of Wroxham, Ranworth, Hickling and Horsey. The landscape changes dramatically with thatched cottages and winding waterways. This area is rich in wildlife and a beauty to behold. To the north the fine Jacobean county house at Blickling may be viewed during your balloon ride. The market towns of Alysham, Coltishall, Aylmerton, Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and North Walsham can normally be seen.
