British school of Ballooning

Petworth - West Sussex

This is our main launch site which regularly has multiple balloon take-offs. This is a popular site with fantastic panoramic views of the south downs. A balloon flight over Sussex always offers fantastic views of the Sussex landscape. On clear days it is possible to see the south coast and the landmarks of London from 2000 feet up.

Location & Facilities

This is a private field situated 5 miles north of Petworth off the A283 adjacent to the Blackwool Farm trout lakes on a 130 acre country estate, with ample parking and basic portaloo toilet
facilities. Feel free to arrive early with family and enjoy a picnic in the tranquil setting before you experience your balloon flight.
