One of those names that might have visiting Americans sniggering — google it for the slang — this pretty, petite pub is thought to actually take its name from a hot air balloon that landed opposite; sketches of it are not in short supply.
The pub (1767) is older than the balloon (1783); whatever it was called for the first 16 years or so has been lost to history. Across from the inn are views of fields that go on forever; inside, it is cosy with its worn wood and old maps on the walls.
