Park in the Newborough Woods car park (£5 and worth every penny), walk up the beach to the island. Fly skirting the island over to the lighthouses and also along the beach. Amazing scenery, beautiful woods and beach. Snowdonia in the background (very hazy when I flew). Woods have many red squirrels if you have the time.

Whitley Castle (Epiacum) is a large, unusually shaped Roman fort (Latin: castra) north-west of the town of Alston, Cumbria, England. The castrum, which was first built by the Roman Army early in the 2nd century AD, was partly demolished and rebuilt around 200 AD. It appears to have been sited to protect lead mining in the area as well as to support the border defences of Hadrian's Wall. Unlike most Roman forts that have a "playing-card shape" (rectangular with rounded corners), Whitley Castle is lozenge-shaped to fit the site. Numerous banks and ditches ring the stone ramparts, making it among the most complex defensive earthworks of any fort known in the Roman Empire. To gain access, which is free, visit the The Nook Farm Shop & Cafe which is on the A689. The landowners own the Shop and had no problem in allowing me to fly there. You do not really appreciate the size of the fort and ramparts until you get in the air. Planning on a future visit to do a map survey.
Land owner permission obtained.

I was fortunate enough to fly Fort Nelson as we wanted to do some mapping survey of an interesting structure, I contacted the Royal Armouries who put me in touch with Fort Nelson. They were very accomodating in allow me to fly and survey the Fort as well as capture some other images. The Fort is within Fleetlands FRZ and as I was flying at 0800 on a Sunday morning they gave me permission as they do not fly at weekends. Fort Nelson asked for some of the images for social media purposes which I was more than happy to give to them

The Racton Ruin is an 18th C monument on a hill above the Hamlet of Racton. You can fly inside and up the shaft, especially if you turn collision avoidance off when you want to get the aircraft out again. Also it's best to set video to record if you want interior shots! Still, I intend to return ... Park in the triangle of land at the base of Monument Lane. Make sure you leave space for agricultural vehicles to pass through the gate as the land is actively farmed. The lane is a restricted byway, closed to motorised vehicles except for farm access. You may encounter walkers, horse riders or mountain bikers who see the lane's gradient as a speed challenge. The lane is in fairly good repair having once been tarmac. Good shoes are still recommended as, hen you have walked the 500 metres uphill, the tower is on the left in woodland and undergrowth. Please respect the ru as, although not fenced off, it is still private property for which the owner is trying to get planning permission to turn it into a home. It is also a Grade II listed building. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racton_Monument
