British school of Ballooning

Paddock Wood - Kent

This is our own private launch site situated in Kent. The countryside of Kent regularly described as "the garden of England" is breathtaking to fly over, with fantastic views of the oast houses, hop farms and rolling expansive countryside.

Location & Facilities

The launch site is situated near the town of Yalding. This site is ideal for all passengers living in South East London, the Medway towns and the coastal towns in Kent and East Sussex.
Before the balloon flight we meet at The Bluebell Inn at Beltring opposite the Whitebread Hop Farm and then take passengers and followers to our launch site. There is no toilet facilities in the morning only when the pub is open on evening flights. The Bluebell offers excellent pub food and easy parking.
