Carr Mill Dam is a great place to fly a drone because it offers wide open space and really strong visuals in one location. The large body of water, surrounding woodland, and footpaths create varied scenery that looks impressive from the air, especially in good light. The open layout makes it easier to maintain line of sight and plan smooth, controlled flights, while the lack of tall structures reduces interference and risk. Overall, it’s an ideal local spot for capturing calm, scenic footage and practising aerial filming in a controlled environment.

A great vantage point to film / photograph these incredible structures that are due to be torn down in the coming years ( they might get a reprieve as people are keen to keep them )

There is a train station here too that still have trains stopping at so this makes the location quite interesting for those that like hyperlapse type video clips

Things to note - be aware of the red route / double red lines as they are monitored so do not stop around the power station area. The parking location is on a bit of a slip road down to the Redhill Marina. As a result its not overly clear if this road or that part of the road is private or not. I have parked here a few times and had plenty of cars pass me and no one has ever challenged me here
