Hit Air Ballooning – the best way to see Skipton & the Dales

28th August 2022

During the August Bank Holiday, our spaniel decided to wake up early for her morning walk, so by 8.30am we were well on our way to the top of Embsay Crag. It was a beautiful clear day with blue skies and just about the level of warmth I enjoy on a summers day.

As we approached the Crag summit, a Hot Air Balloon came sailing around the face of the Crag – what fantastic views they must have had of the Dales. The balloon glided by heading towards Wharfedale and Bolton Abbey.

I’ve never done Hot Air Ballooning, but it’s on my bucket list. If it something you would like to do whilst staying at our cottage, Airborne Adventures has been providng balloon flights to locals and visitors to Skipton for more years than I can remember. Why not book a flight during your holiday?

Of course, the Yorkshire Dales being the Yorkshire Dales , the weather cannot be guaranteed and cloud cover may spoil your views but won’t lessen the excitement.
