Dunham is derived from the Anglo-Saxon dun, meaning hill. The Manorof Dunham was mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1086 as having belonged to a Saxon Nobleman Aelfward.

Gently rolling countryside juxtaposed by period architecture; Lincolnshire is a county steeped in English character at its finest. From rural escapes to bustling market towns, Lincolnshire hot air balloon rides provide the perfect opportunity to view many of the county’s landmarks from a completely new perspective – or more specifically from anything up to 5,000 feet.

Nestled at the southerly point of the county and filled with English character, Stamford Meadows has long been regarded as an area of outstanding beauty, most notably by Sir Walter Scott heralding it to be ‘the finest scene between London and Edinburgh’. A hot air balloon ride offers the ideal chance to drift above the intriguing mix of narrow passageways and cobbled streets, spacious squares and honey-coloured architecture.

With five medieval churches, a 12th century priory and 15th century hospital, all complemented by other fine Georgian and Medieval buildings within the town, Stamford today still retains much of what prompted Scott’s fond remark.
