Strumble Head and Lighthouse (By Steviegeek)

I visited on a wet, windy and very grey day. I suggest you go on a nice sunny clear sky day 😃
There is parking space but no amenities. The lighthouse is open some days but don't know exactly when so if you want to go inside check beforehand to avoid disappointment

Blairgowrie and River Ericht (By AlbionDrones)

Blairgowrie is a small town in Perthshire, straddling the River Ericht, known as the home of Scottish Fruits greenhouses orchards and raspberry canes surround it. The town centre is small and can be walked in about 10 minutes, but backs onto the river, and a riverside park provides a lovely TOAL place.

Park on the road near the Wellmeadow square and you have an hour free parking.

Durham Cathederal (By Briang97)

Good spot to toal gives a great capture of the horseshoe bend on the river with the castle and cathedral in the background, well worth a shot when the trees have autumn colour on.

You might get a warning from the prison as they've extended to zone but you are still within the distance from the prison to get some shots.

Cranfleet Cut and Cranfleet Lock (By Ubique_Photo)

I parked at the what3words location "rank.theme.rams" at the end of Pasture Lane and took a nice stroll along the river to the location shown on the map. It is a public right of way and was really quiet. But watch out for MTB's and I always gave room for any walkers etc, by moving the drone away.

Clearly privacy ethos living on the boats is to be kept in mind although they were lovely to chat to and just interested.
I then moved to a place nearer to the car park at the lock cafe to maintain visuals.

Salford Park (By soumyodeep)

A spectacular view of Gravelly Hill Interchange, also known as Spaghetti Junction. I went to the Salford Park at 4 PM to take this picture, but I realize that the drone position was very close to the bridge. For this I was not able to cover the whole junction in one picture. At the time of flying there were no one in the park near to my position. I have made the TOAL from inside the park. I have not seen any "No drone" sign inside the park. Be careful while flying from here, as few people come here for fishing. The drone sound can be a problem for fishing. As I have flown my mini 3 which is a very low noise drone. I have no hear the drone sound because of the traffic Noise over the flyover. I am unsure the drone-flying inside park at Birmingham, as there is a controversial document (Policy) around.

The Brickfields, Bath (By FirstDriver)

A large, open park in Bath, with good VLOS and no wires. Parking shouldn't be a problem in this area as it's out of town. There is a shop close by, and also a shopping street which might prove difficult to park. Extensive views of the South of the city.
