Hot Air Balloon Flight Over - Liskeard |
|
| |
With Liskeard being one of three Virgin Hot Air Balloon Flight launch sites within the county of Cornwall, one is spoilt for choice if looking to explore the beauty and history of what is, arguably, the jewel of the West Country.
Once linked by canal to the charming coastal town of Looe, Liskeard, is found draped about a gently steeped hill, flanked on all sides by beautiful, rolling Cornish countryside.
Overlooked by its own part-Norman, Church of St Martin, the second largest church in the county, Liskeard is now a thriving, bustling market town.
If fortunate, during your flight, to pass low and slow over the town it is possible to see buildings of all styles and ages radiating out from the town's central square.
Southwest of Liskeard lies the picturesque coastal town of Fowey where once the author, Daphne DuMaurrier, drawn to the natural beauty of the region, lived and wrote, whilst in a more southerly direction are found a wealth of typically quaint fishing villages such as Polperro and Looe.
Our Liskeard launch site provides the perfect base for those wishing to traverse the wide Cornish skies.
