Peacehaven Steps (By Sammie99)

If you don't mind a bit of a walk it is better to use the steps and go to the bottom of the cliff as there is a nice wall to sit on by the sea. Also it means you don't experience quite the same fear of heights by being at the top!

Titsey Place and Parklands (By grandad1950)

It was closed when I went ( should have checked opening times) but potentially an interesting house to visit. Rolling parkland and woodland to explore and a working farm in the grounds.

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.
