Where can I fly my drone in the UK and get £5,000,000 Public Liability Insurance cover? Welcome to Drone Scene!

Herstmonceux Castle Estate Sussex,
A lovely castle with lots of fields around & woodland,
Thought id head down here today but unbeknown there is renovation work on going with the castle so didn’t manage to capture the shots that I wanted, nonetheless I thought carry on, had done some research on the place itself before I headed down & would be more photogenic when the renovation is finished so I may head back, TOAL & park is very easy with just a couple of minutes walk, a few public & dog walkers in & around but a real easy place to fly, in all a real nice location.

High cross estate aka Hamilton palace half built derelict mansion some history below.

On the site of the former High Cross House, a former nursing home destroyed by a fire of unknown cause, van Hoogstraten began constructing a private mansion he called Hamilton Palace, at Palehouse Common near Uckfield in East Sussex in the mid-1980s. According to Emma Brockes of The Guardian in 2000, Hamilton Palace was named after the capital of Bermuda, where van Hoogstraten owns property.
Construction of the mansion began in 1985 and had cost around £40 million by 2006. The neoclassical palace features a copper dome. The enormous edifice is intended to house his private collection of art, currently stored in Switzerland, and includes a marble mausoleum he intends for himself. Under English law, perpetual trusts are only allowed in the upkeep of monuments and graves. By using the palace as a mausoleum, van Hoogstraten's trust would legally own the buildings and their fittings in perpetuity after his death. A large portion of his wealth has been transferred into a Bermudan trust for the upkeep of historic monuments. The structure of the mansion and ancillary buildings was largely in place, but van Hoogstraten fell out with architect Anthony Browne in 2000[21] and the site remained unfinished. Recent drone footage shows an abandoned building surrounded by scaffolding on which foliage is growing.

See this place a while back on the news so whilst in the area I thought I’d take a look, found a big grass verge next to a large gate & field off the road nearby,
Worth a look there’s also a few Ariel videos on YouTube.

Former Horsebridge flower Mill aka McDougall's Flour Mill.

Spotted this on the way to another location I was visiting, it’s down a dead end road where you can park at the bottom if driving, looked a good little bit of history so thought why not,
Easily accessible to the public & there is a path running through some woodland next to it,
Was quite quiet only see a couple of dog walkers who was very friendly & all smiles & said hello,
The thing you have to be carful of here when flying there’s lots of little twigs in around & hanging by the mill so you have to keep alert, it’s a great little place just a shame there’s not much room to move with the drone, well worth a visit old & rustic with great history.

Stumbled on this place on the way back home from flying a few locations in Sussex I just had to explore,

The hill at Bo Peep Bostal, East Sussex, is known as Bopeep Bostal Hill. It's a steep climb, considered a 4th-category climb, reaching an elevation of 168 meters. It's a popular route for cycling and hiking, offering views of the South Downs and the surrounding countryside.
absolute stunning landscape peaceful & tranquil with breath taking views,
I drove into a road called Bopeep Lane where I pulled in to an off rd parking lay-by on the right that looked out across the fields towards the hills, I had to be quick as id not much juice in my battery’s but didn’t want to not take the opportunity, wind was very strong which the drone kept giving me warnings the low battery kicked in return to home so I couldn’t get as much as I wanted too,
When I finished I took a drive upon the hills & the views are even more stunning, there was a few public about & dog walkers alike it is also sssi upon the hills but where I parked & TOAL’D it is not,
Stunning place well worth a visit would definitely go again if I was in the area.
Gorgeous !

The Newport Riverfront is a solid spot for flying drones, with plenty of open space and a blend of urban and natural scenery. You’ll find a number of bridges nearby, which can make for some really good aerial shots. Just remember to follow local rules and be mindful of those around you while you’re out flying.

Llangorse Lake is the largest natural lake in Mid and South Wales, and is situated in the Brecon Beacons National Park.

It has a three-mile perimeter covering an area 340 acres and is one mile long.

The lake itself is worth a visit in its own right, but the surrounding countryside – fields with a dramatic mountain backdrop – is impressive.

Good location too for morning mist shots, but on the day I visited, it was so thick I couldn’t even see the lake so for this location shot(!), I came back later on in the day once it had cleared

Twn-y-Gaer Camp is an Iron Age hillfort. It is a strongly embanked and ditched enclosure occupying the summit of an isolated hill 427m above sea level. It is an elongated oval, roughly 226m by 84m, defined by a rampart with a ditch and counterscarp bank, except on the south where the hillslopes are at their steepest.

There is a single in-turned east-facing entrance. The interior is divided by two lines of east-facing ramparts and ditches, each with a central entrance.

On a clear day there are stunning views all around – the peaks of Pen-Y-Fan and Com Du, the Black Mountains, the River Usk, as well as a patchwork quilt of farmland that stretches towards mid_wales
