Where to fly your drone


Knaresborough Castle, Harrogate (By JockyB)

Knaresborough Castle. Lovely place to fly. Nice views across the River Nidd to the railway bridge crossing.
During the week this is inside a warning zone for Yorkshire Dales LFZ ( 08:00- 1700hrs) check on Dronescene, but honestly if an aircraft is flying at a height that interferes with your flight, then that pilot has more problems than you have. 😂😂

Blaen y Glyn waterfall, Powys (By gasbag43)

Blaen y Glyn waterfall is within Talybont Forest in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park.

You can walk to Blaen y Glyn waterfall from either of two car parks - Blaen y Glyn Isaf is the lower car park and Blaen y Glyn Uchaf is the upper car park - the location mapped here is the lower car park.

The walk up to the beautiful waterfall takes about 20 minutes - there are plenty of other waterfalls in the area, but most have extensive tree cover that make flying a drone challenging

Gray Hill stone circle, Monmouthshire (By gasbag43)

High up on the edge of Wentwood in Wales overlooking the Severn Estuary, lies the Gray Hill Stone Circle which dates back to the Bronze Age, around 4,000 years ago

The circle itself is around 32 feet in diameter, with nine stones laid out on the circumference. Unlike some stone circles where the stones stand tall and proud, these stones rest on their sides, forming a low wall. One intriguing feature is a solitary standing stone positioned just outside the circle, accompanied by a larger "outlier" stone nearby. Archaeologists believe this outlying stone may have served as a marker or even part of an entrance to a chamber tomb once located within the circle.

The presence of the fallen stones within the circle adds another layer of mystery, hinting at a potential chamber tomb that time may have worn away.

The circle itself is worth a visit, but just 100 meters away at the summit of the hill is a perfect alternative TOAL location for Wentwood Reservoir with a much higher starting altitude than from the car park as marked on Drone Scene

Caversham Bridge, Reading (By Kirky)

Caversham bridge set in a lovely surrounding with the river Thames running through, its a lovely walk along the Thames, with a cafe on the corner of Richfield avenue that serves good food all day, can get very busy at most times of the year with visitors dog walkers & families feeding the ducks & swans so be mindful of that, has a hotel right next to it & pretty much everything within a couple of minutes walking distance which is great for a day out, I know this place well & have been a visitor for the last 50 years plus, also in the summer you have a local ice cream van here with refreshments, the only time id try to avoid is when reading festival is on as it can be mayhem, other than that well worth a visit & a great attraction .

Helm crag Grasmere, South Lakeland (By D0c.Col)

Helm Crag is a fell in the English Lake District situated in the Central Fells to the north of Grasmere. Despite its low height it sits prominently at the end of a ridge, easily seen from the village. This, combined with the distinctive summit rocks which provide the alternative name 'The Lion and the Lamb', makes it one of the most recognised hills in the District.

There are plenty of websites that list walks to this great summit the easiest of which start in Grasmere.

Parking is a premium in Grasmere but there is a layby just off the A591 at the North end of the village.
