Cherbury Camp, Vale of White Horse added to Iconic Landscapes and Ancient Sites in South East by gasbag43 on 28/07/2025

Cherbury Camp is a multi-mound hill fort-like earthwork north of the village of Charney Bassett in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire. The site is connected to the village by a footpath although there is no public access to within the fort itself.

The fortification was protected by three ditches and embankments, a stream and a marsh. It had an entrance on its Eastern flank. It is larger than its better known counterpart, Uffington Castle (location also on Drone Scene), on the Ridgeway. The location may seem odd compared with the many hill forts however, it was strategically placed at the narrowest neck of land between the River Thames and the River Ock.

In structure and unusual siting, it resembles nearby Hardwell Castle (location also on Drone Scene). Its current form may date from the latter part of the middle Iron Age, most probably from after 200 BC

Legend has it that the local inhabitants of Uffington Castle travelled the intervening 6 miles to raid Cherbury Camp, where King Canute and his invading army were encamped. However, a young shepherd boy spotted them and blew his horn as a warning to the Danes. They are said to have consequently prevailed in the subsequent battle, which took place at the crossroads halfway between Charney Bassett and Buckland. The area became known as Gainfield as a result.

However true or otherwise this local legend may be, the horn, known as the Pusey Horn, is now housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

The site is a scheduled monument

Ogmore-by-Sea, Vale of Glamorgan (By Victoria_Graholska)

Beautiful spot for flying and after a long research to make sure it's safe and legal I have decided to give it a go. There is so much more to see in this location including walking all the way up to the Ogmore Castle - and we went there before just without a drone and in another direction you will find a Dunraven Bay with a castle (or a footprint of the castle) I'm not too sure as we didn't get past the parking gate due to only cash accepted.
Parking is available and the earlier you arrive the better

Conderton Camp, Wychavon (By gasbag43)

If you are searching for an eye-catching blend of ancient history and sweeping English countryside, Conderton Camp on the southern slopes of Bredon Hill in Worcestershire is worth exploring


Dating back to the Middle Iron Age, Conderton Camp is a small oval hillfort set upon an elevated spur. From ground level, its historical contours can be easy to miss, but sending a drone up transforms the view. The aerial perspective brings the distinct oval earthworks and ancient rampart boundaries into focus. Surrounded by golden harvest fields and framed by a lush belt of mature trees, the site offers an impressive contrast of colours and textures during the summer months.

The drone-view reveals intricate earthwork outlines and field patterns that remain largely invisible from the footpaths. Sitting high on the flanks of Bredon Hill, the location rewards you with vast, uninterrupted 360-degree views across the Vale of Evesham and the surrounding Cotswold landscape.

The dramatic contrast between open fields, drystone boundary walls, and dense green tree lines provides brilliant leading lines for both photography and smooth video passes.

Whether you are capturing wide panoramas or tracking historical earthworks, Conderton Camp is a rewarding spot for any drone pilot.
