No permissions are required. Plenty of open space to take off and land from. Can tend to be a bit windy so use common sense and not rely on UAV Forecast and other apps. Can also be busy with coastal and dog walkers
Land owner permission not required.

Farlington Marshes nature reserve itself a no drone zone, but Langstone harbour is a great location for some coastal shots without straying over the reserve. There are a number of free carparks on the road to the nature reserve and a coastal path alongside the harbour suitable for TOAL.

I parked in Swindon Football Stadium's car park, about 50m north of the roundabout. In 2005, it was voted the worst roundabout in a survey of the general public by a UK insurance company. In September 2007, the Magic Roundabout was named as one of the world's worst junctions by a UK motoring magazine. In December 2007, BBC News reported a survey identifying The Magic Roundabout as one of the "10 Scariest Junctions in the United Kingdom"; however, the roundabout provides a better throughput of traffic than other designs and has an excellent safety record, since traffic moves too slowly to do serious damage in the event of a collision.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Roundabout_(Swindon)

There are parking spaces on the road here but I went here after not being back in years and there are far more trees over the river than I ever remember and I wouldn't advise flying low as it is so overgrown. Also, that wind blows hard through the bridge and will throw a little Mini 2 about :Dhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumbling_Bridge

There is a small carpark at the bottom of the hill and that is where I flew from but it is very popular so I didn't hang about for long in case I upset anyone but would imagine if you get there early on a nice day you could get much lower and closer.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balvaird_Castle
