Hythe Ferry added to Everything Else in South East by StunningDrone on 10/06/2024

The Hythe Ferry sails daily between Hythe and Southampton Town Quay providing a car free, carefree, and fun trip for all ages and the chance to enjoy the sights and sounds of the bustling port of Southampton.

You can park in the Marina or on the road outside. I paid £2 and parked in the marina. I took off from the rocks by hand just by the anchor and benches.

Ceannabeinne Township, Durness (By AlbionDrones)

At the furthest reaches of the Scottish North Coast, just before you reach Durness are some amazing beaches, turquoise waters and golden sands, with rocky headlands and sea stacks, beautiful views, but also a place that includes a shameful history ignored by many...

Ceannabeinne was a thriving township until the landowner decided that sheep were more profitable than people and the village was 'cleared' - the tenant farmers and crofters turned off their land, left homeless and without a means to support themselves, with not a thought to their plight by those whose only motive was profit...

Parking is a roadside layby, big enough for 6 or 7 cars, then the walk over uneven and wet ground to the boardwalk down to the area of the township. Ruins of a couple of cottages can be seen, but nothing spectacular, however the views and beaches below are excellent...

Very windy, on the day we visited...

Moria Furnace (By LE60LAD)

Moira Furnace is a nineteenth-century iron-making blast furnace located in Moira, Leicestershire, on the banks of the Ashby-de-la-Zouch Canal.

Vist https://www.moirafurnace.org/ for more info on this building and the events that take place here during the year.

Unsure of any drone policy by the museum and country park but like most of these types of venus I would say they are not keen on your flying from their land. There is a sports field with access to the canal path just across from the building and this is where I flew from.

You can park on site but I recommend you check the what is on at the site on the day you wish to fly or the closing times so your not locked in. There is loads of parking around the area.

Findlater Castle (By mynameisjoe)

Pronounced Finlatter, the first historical reference to the castle is from 1246. King Alexander III of Scotland repaired this castle in the 1260s in preparation for an invasion by King Haakon IV of Norway. The Norwegians took and held the castle for some time but the castle that remains is from the 14th-century rebuilding. It has some pretty good history behind it which can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Findlater_Castle
Nearby is Findlatter doocot which is also worth a visit, especially as you have to walk past it to get to the castle! There are LOTS of seabirds to contend with, I wouldn't advise going in nesting season as you WILL lose your drone.
Parking is easy and so is the walk to the castle, little more than 10 minutes. It can get busy with walkers, runners, and tourists and the mist can come in very quickly to shroud the castle, so get in, get your shots, and get gone.

Chillington Hall & Estate, Wolverhampton (By D0c.Col)

Chillington Hall is a Georgian country house near Brewood, Staffordshire, four miles northwest of Wolverhampton.The Grade I listed house was designed by Francis Smith in 1724 and John Soane in 1785. The park and lake were landscaped by Capability Brown.

The house is the residence of the Giffard family and is only open to the public during specific events or tour open days so see their website below for details. I filmed there a few times and TOAL/Parked at different locations (see marker points), but most of my footage was taken during one of the tours. Parking on tour days is directly in front of the hall. The tour guide was happy for me to film inside and use my drone, with caveats outside (avoid the windows and the family areas around the back of the building if they are in residence).

There is no cafe as such there, but they do cakes and teas and tiolets are readily available.

Most Satellite Navigation devices will bring you to their correct gate using postcode WV8 1RE . On some occasions they will ask for a road name - In which case use Port Lane or Foxes Lane.
