Dolwyddelan Castle, Snowdonia added to Castles and Fortifications in Wales by Mavic2Pro on 27/09/2020

CADW property, but you can take off from the fields across the road. The car park was empty when I visited due to COVID.

Allonby / Beckfoot beach (By Scuba0576)

Crown Property so permission not needed. Plenty of pull-ins along the coast road. Beaches are sparsely populated but just be aware of Dog walkers etc. Scenery is stunning and massive skies. Can get quite windy so you have to choose your flight days care4fully.

Slemish (By TheFatController)

Just outside Ballymena, near the village of Broughshane, Slemish has a free car park with a small information centre & toilets (which are temporarily closed due to covid). There are great views from the top even without a drone. It is a very exposed mountain and can often be too wet or windy to fly, which is when your backup (phone?) camera comes in handy.

This short flyzone allows spectacular pictures of • the V&A museum • two significant bridges • HMS Discovery • the rejuvenated Dundee city centre. Launch from Quayside footpath, near the Discovery Centre. Be careful to fly over the water in the small triangle formed by the bridge, the quayside path and the Flight Restriction Zone.

Ashridge House (By Mind_the_gap)

Surrounded by restricted zones, there is a nice area where you can fly around. Remember to keep under 120 meters as is not too far from Luton Airport flying path.
