Iford Manor is a Grade II listed building in Wiltshire, about 2 miles southwest of the town of Bradford-on-Avon.

It is a Grade II listed building sitting on the steep, south-facing slope of the Frome valley. The Manor House was built in the late 15th or early 16th century, but most of what is visible is from a rebuilding as an early Georgian house c1725-1730.

Iford is best known for its beautiful gardens, which are designated Grade I in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens by Historic England

The Manor house and Gardens are the main reason for recommending this as a location to fly your drone, but its setting in one of the "20 most beautiful villages in the UK and Ireland" (Condé Nast Traveler in 2020) strengthens its case as a great place to visit

To cap it all, immediately outside the manor is a very pretty and ornate medieval stone bridge built circa 1400

Farleigh Hungerford Castle is a medieval castle in Farleigh Hungerford, Somerset.

The castle was built in two phases: the inner court was constructed between 1377 and 1383 on the site of an existing manor house overlooking the River Frome.

A deer park was attached to the castle, requiring the destruction of the nearby village.

Later, the castle was extended with an additional, outer court, enclosing the parish church in the process.

In 1643, the castle was seized by Royalist forces in 1643, but recaptured by Parliament without a fight near the end of the conflict in 1645. As a result, it escaped the destruction of its defensive capabilities following the war, unlike many other castles in the south-west of England.

It is now owned by English Heritage, is a Grade I listed building and a scheduled monument.

Stoney Littleton Long Barrow is one of the country’s finest accessible examples of a Neolithic chambered tomb. Dating from about 3500 BC, it is 30 metres long and has multiple burial chambers open to view.

The barrow is also known as the Bath Tumulus and the Wellow Tumulus and is located near the village of Wellow in Somerset. It is an example of the Cotswold-Severn Group and was scheduled as an ancient monument in 1882.

Excavations in the early 19th century uncovered bones from several individuals. The stone structure is about 30 metres (98 ft) in length and contains a 12.8-metre (42 ft) long gallery with three pairs of side chambers and an end chamber.

The central passage and entrance are roughly aligned towards the midwinter sunrise.

This Tudor fort, built by the borough of Dartmouth between 1522 and 1536, contained heavy guns to protect the prosperous harbour town from attack.

It was the last line of defence against enemy ships that had eluded Dartmouth and Kingswear castles and the iron chain stretched across the Dart estuary between them.

Occupying a terrace cut from the rocky river bank, Bayard’s Cove Fort is picturesquely sited at the entrance to Dartmouth harbour.

Drakestone Point is part of Stinchcombe Hill, a ridge overlooking the Severn Vale and the Cotswold escarpment.

It's a popular spot for walkers, with the Cotswold Way passing through, and there are various paths leading up from Dursley and from a car park near the golf course (that's where I parked and then walked in)

The point itself is a triangular area of grassland, with an oak tree and a memorial bench at the tip, offering stunning views.

There's some evidence of earthworks at the site, possibly indicating an Iron Age beacon or a signaling post. It has also been suggested, though not definitively proven, that it might have been a castle site in the past.

The main draw of Drakestone Point is the extensive views it offers over the Severn Vale, towards the Forest of Dean and the Welsh hills. Its summit reaches a height of 220m, add on 120 metres of drone altitude and the view from above of the valley below is the main attraction of this recommended location.

Parking was by the golf club house, TOAL from the public footpath approaching the viewpoint (The Cotswold Way)
