Corrieshalloch Gorge, Ross and Cromarty North West (By AlbionDrones)

NTS Corrieshalloch Gorge, a large gorge filled with flowers, trees and a wonderful waterfall - plus a bridge and viewing platform...

Permission to fly from the NT land must be sought in advance - even though the website just says ask the Site Manager, however there is a car park about 600m away and you can fly there and film the gorge from a distance - rcommend using a zoom lens such as the x3 on the AIR3 that I used...

Rogie Falls, Strathpeffer, Ross and Cromarty Central (By AlbionDrones)

Just outside Contin on the Ullapool road, you come to the signs and car park - on the right-hand side of the road.

Car Parking is £2 for 2 hrs £3 for 4 hrs, the walk down to the falls is about 3/4 of a mile, and a fairly steep descent, on a good path. Viewpoint above the falls, of descend the steps to the bridge and see the falls from a lower angle.

We visited in late June, and it was changeable weather, with lots of midges, so do use some midge spray...

Toilet in Car Park.

Late summer, you can often see Salmon leaping if the water flow is just right, on the day we visited it was full on force, so no salmon seen.

Rylstone Cross, Rylstone, North Yorkshire, Craven (By markas)

Originally a wooden cross, erected to celebrate 50 years of Queen Victoria’s reign, it has been repaired and replaced on a couple of occasions, the most recent was in 1995, by all accounts there is a time capsule within the structure containing all the local newspapers from the week it was erected.

You can also get some great views of the dales from up here.

This is only a 15 minute cycle ride for me, if you are driving, you can park on street for free adjacent to Rylstone duck pond, from there it would be a 30 to 45 minute walk along the bridleway.

Norton Tower, Rylstone, North Yorkshire, Craven (By markas)

Norton Tower is a ruined, fortified structure near Rylstone, North Yorkshire, England, dating back to the 16th century. It was likely built by Richard Norton around 1540, possibly as a hunting lodge or watchtower, and may have been related to a dispute with the Cliffords of Skipton Castle over hunting rights. The tower is situated on a natural ridge and features a bank and ditch on its eastern side. It was later slighted in 1569 after Richard Norton's involvement in the Rising of the North.

I cycled here as it is only 15 minutes from home, if you are driving, there is free on street parking adjacent to Rylstone duck pond. From there it would take around 30 minutes to walk along the bridleway.

Ruthin Castle Hotel, Denbighshire (By BernieS)

Wonderful old building set in spacious grounds.

I checked with the Manager that he was OK with me flying there, & he was happy to let me do so. As long as I stayed away from the bedroom windows (!)

I toal from the helipad in the grounds as it is sufficiently far from the main building not to disturb anybody.

Moses Gate Country Park, Bolton (By Seadog)

Nice little country park, despite working for many years I'd not visited here before. Plenty of waterfowl, trees (more than you could shake a stick at). Surprisingly "countrified" considering proximity to Bolton twixt Bury & Manchester.
