Spiders Castle Dyke, Ashford (By Stirling)

Spiders Castle Dyke (also known as Brook Stream) is near Blackwall Road. It's easily missed because it can only be accessed via a footpath. The stream sometimes looks bright orange due to iron deposits.

The place is wide open, with hills in the background. Making it ideal for landscape sunset shots

Cowden Beach, East Riding of Yorkshire (By milkmanchris)

Cowden Beach on the East Yorkshire coast is one of the fastest-eroding shorelines in Europe, receding at an average rate of 2.5 to 5 metres per year. This rapid retreat of the soft boulder-clay cliffs exposes hundreds of thousands of live unexploded bombs and bullets from the former RAF Cowden bombing range

Parking on Eelmere Road then walk upto the cliff edge or take a left or right on the cliff paths (on foot, no vehicle access)

Access to the beach is not easy, but there are several very steep paths that have been worn by the fisherman who use the beach.

Marsh Mill, Wyre (By Seadog)

A restored Grade 2 listed building built in 1794 by Ralph Slater. Originally a corn mill then repurposed as a cafe in the 1930’s. Two female prospective buyers died whilst inspecting it in 1930 when the fantail staging collapsed whilst they were stood on it. English Heritage have called it "an exceptionally complete example of a tower windmill in a national context". (Wikipedia}.

Ullapool (By AlbionDrones)

Ullapool is inside the Highlands TFR, so check whether it is active - on Sundays it is not, so we were able to fly.

MV Loch Seaforth was just about to dock, so I just had to send the AIR3 up and try to capture it - video to follow when we get home and can edit the footage...

Lots of scope for filming, the town itself, the harbour and boats, plus the amazing views both to the Summerisles and inland along Loch Broom...
