Dancing Ledge is a gorgeous location on the Purbeck Jurassic Coast. It’s an old quarrying site with large fossils visible in the stone, bat caves, climbing opportunities and a tidal pool cut into the rock shelf for swimming too.

It takes a bit of effort to get down to it from the National Trust car park (and a bit more to get back again) but it’s more than worth it.

Standing at the mouth of the River Tyne is Tynemouth Lighthouse, one of the most recognisable landmarks along the North East coastline. Built in 1854, the lighthouse was constructed to help guide ships safely towards the entrance of the River Tyne and the busy port of Newcastle.

The lighthouse stands on the North Pier at Tynemouth, which forms part of the extensive breakwater protecting the river entrance from the North Sea. Its prominent position means it has been an important navigational landmark for vessels approaching the Tyne for more than 170 years.

The surrounding area has a strong maritime history, with the River Tyne becoming one of Britain's most important industrial and shipping centres during the 19th and 20th centuries. The lighthouse therefore played an important role in supporting the ships that carried goods, coal and passengers into and out of the river.

Today, Tynemouth Lighthouse remains an iconic feature of the coastline, standing against the North Sea at the end of the pier. These aerial photographs capture the lighthouse from above, highlighting its distinctive structure, the North Pier and the dramatic coastline surrounding the entrance to the River Tyne.

In the outskirts of Spennymoor town centre stands The Brewery Field, the home of Spennymoor Town Football Club and an important sporting landmark within the local community. The ground has been at the centre of football in the town for generations and remains a familiar sight to local residents and supporters.

The Brewery Field takes its name from the former brewery that once stood nearby, reflecting part of Spennymoor’s industrial heritage. The ground has hosted football for many years and has seen Spennymoor Town rise through the English football pyramid.

Today, The Brewery Field is home to Spennymoor Town FC, who currently compete in the National League North, the sixth tier of English football. The stadium provides a traditional non-league football atmosphere, with supporters gathering on matchdays to follow the club.

In the heart of Darlington town centre stands the iconic Darlington Clock Tower, one of the town’s most recognisable landmarks. Built in 1864, the tower was gifted to the town by Joseph Pease, a prominent local industrialist and railway pioneer, and was designed by renowned Victorian architect Alfred Waterhouse.

The Clock Tower forms part of Darlington’s historic Market Place and is a Grade II listed building, reflecting its architectural and historical importance. Its distinctive Victorian design, tall spire and prominent position have made it a familiar sight above the town for more than 160 years.

The tower also has a connection to the famous Big Ben, with its bells being made by the same company responsible for casting bells for the Palace of Westminster.

Today, the Clock Tower remains at the centre of Darlington’s town life, standing as a reminder of the town’s rich Victorian, industrial and railway heritage. These aerial photographs capture this historic landmark from a unique perspective above the streets of Darlington.

Bodnant Garden in North Wales, one of Britain’s most celebrated historic gardens, overlooking the beautiful Conwy Valley.

You can explore how Bodnant was transformed from a Victorian estate into the remarkable garden we see today. Follow the story of Henry Davis Pochin, the wealthy Victorian chemist who bought Bodnant in 1874, and landscape designer Edward Milner, who helped shape its early development.

You can also discover the famous Laburnum Arch, the influence of the McLaren family and Lord Aberconway, the creation of the magnificent Italianate terraces, Bodnant’s important collection of rhododendrons and exotic plants, and the extraordinary story of the Pin Mill, dismantled at Woodchester in Gloucestershire and rebuilt at Bodnant in 1938–39.

Along the way there are views of the gardens, terraces, woodland, water features and colourful planting, together with some aerial footage showing Bodnant in its spectacular setting beneath the mountains of North Wales.

You can park on the National Trust car park for free on the east side of Bodnant Road and the Pavillion on the edge of the car park next to the road is good for sustenance and comfort breaks. Also there is a small car park on the same side but further south down Bodnant Road where you can TOAL in relative privacy, but VLOS is limited here. You can use the whole road for TOAL though as its not owned by the National Trust, but I did notice they have Trust staff in buggies going up and down now and then so be prepared to be challenged.
