I parked on Parsonage Road, Widnes. A public footpath runs west under the two bridges, and there is an open concrete area on the river bank at https://what3words.com/camps.crowned.safely where I took off from. Hazards: this site is clear of the Liverpool Airport flight restriction zone (at date of flying), but note that DJI's no-fly zone extends across much of the river (height limit of 60m imposed unless you arrange a temporary unlock). The footpath was not busy when I flew (Saturday morning). The take-off point is >150m clear from housing and from the road/rail bridges, but note there are commercial buildings and a school playing field nearby. Also: seagulls!
You can park for free at Abakhan Fabrics, where there is a cafe and public toilets. Footpaths run down to the shore on either side of a water channel, these are both public footpaths. Fly from the footpath or the shore (the east footpath leads to better clear space for take-off and landing). Hazards: pedestrians using the paths, a railway line, and various overhead cables.
Land owner permission not required.
public car park 1/4 mile from mine, very easy access
There's a car park on Castlehill Road. Unless you have a 4x4, I'd park there and walk down to the Priory... I tried to drive down in a Yaris and got stuck in one of the potholes! This
I parked at Warrington Animal Welfare, postcode WA1 1NA. From there, follow a footpath south-west to the edge of a farmer's field, there is good space here for take-off and landing. You can continue on the path down to the river bank and along to the right to maintain VLOS, but note that the industrial areas east and west of the bridge may be counted as a "congested area".
No council bylaws present restricting the use of drones or model aircrafts. This park is does not fall under the National Trust either. From the planning document: Runnymede Pleasure Grounds (RPG) is a public open space on the banks of the River Thames, mid-way between Egham and Old Windsor. It is held by the Council as Trustee and the Trustee function is delegated to the Community Services Committee. As mentioned in the warning, this park can get busy, especially on weekends. Would err on the side of caution flying here.
Abandoned University campus currently under construction
2 metre height restricted car park. Plenty of space. Langstone Harbour to the south, quay where dredgers discharge to the north. Don't overfly the electricity main substation. To the east is Budd's Farm sewage works. Best flown when the wind is blowing from the west or south west.
