Lands End added to Iconic Landscapes and Ancient Sites in South West by TMVideos on 09/01/2024

The iconic Lands End. You can park in the main carpark which is open all year round. Take time to look around as there is lots of free stuff here and also paid parts. There are arts and crafts studios to the left of the complex. There are also cafes and restaurants.

We took the 1mile walk to Sennen to the north which is an easy walk but has a bit of a hill to get into Sennen. (There are flight restrictions in Sennen due to Lands End Airport)

Brilliant Walk on a sunny day!!

The Grand Pier Weston Super Mare, North Somerset (By Rustyo200le)

The Grand Pier at Weston Super Mare is a fantastic subject to film. Be warned the council do not permit drone flying but they really can't enforce it if you fly within the crown estate border. I generally go when it's quiet and avoid the busier areas.

The Grand Pier Weston-Super-Mare, North Somerset (By Rustyo200le)

The Grand Pier at Weston Super Mare is a fantastic subject to film. I believe the council are very much against drones and the beach wardens will ask you to land. But personally I've never had an issue as I generally go when it's quiet and keep well out the way of the busy areas.

Woolacombe beach, North Devon (By Rustyo200le)

Woolacombe in North Devon is one of our favourite beaches in the Uk. A fantastic place to capture the sunset with the drone. A huge beach where you can easily find space to take off and land from away from the crowds.

Verity, Ilfracombe, North Devon (By Rustyo200le)

Ilfracombe is a lovely harbour village with lots to capture with the drone. But be warned, keep an eye out for the seagulls. They seem to take great interest in drones.

Hutton-in-the-forest, Eden (By D0c.Col)

Hutton-in-the-Forest sits quietly on the northern edge of the Lake District, surrounded by ancient woodland that once formed part of the royal Inglewood Forest. It’s one of the most historic country houses in Cumbria — and one of the few still lived in by the same family who’ve owned it for more than four centuries.

At the heart of Hutton lies a medieval pele tower, built around 1350 for defence during the turbulent border wars with Scotland. You can still see traces of that purpose in the arrow slits and thick stone walls. Over time, the fortress grew into a family home, as new wings were added in the Tudor, Jacobean, Georgian, and Victorian periods — each generation adding comfort and character rather than replacing what came before.

This gradual evolution makes Hutton almost a timeline of English domestic architecture in one building. The east front reflects the elegance of the 17th century, while the Gothic details on later sections come from a 19th-century redesign by Anthony Salvin, the same architect who worked on Alnwick Castle and parts of Windsor.

The gardens here are among the oldest in the north of England. The formal topiary yews, some over 300 years old, date back to the 17th century. The walled garden, first laid out in the 1730s, still produces fruit, vegetables, and flowers, much as it did centuries ago. Beyond it, the 18th-century parkland reflects the naturalistic tastes of the Georgian era, influenced by the style of Capability Brown.

Hutton’s setting still carries echoes of its medieval origins. The surrounding woods are remnants of the old royal hunting forest — home to oak and beech trees that have stood for hundreds of years.

I took off from the carpark as it was a quiet day, but the roadside is only about 50m further on. Refreshments and toilet facilities are on site as are places to sit and reflect.

Middle Falls, Craven (By markas)

Not many people have heard of this waterfall compared to the more well-known waterfalls in Yorkshire, and you won’t see many photos of it as it’s a little off the beaten track in Upper Warfdale, however its quite near a roadside parking spot, and can actually be seen on the drive, but few actually park up and walk right up to the waterfall.

Swanbourne Lake, Arun (By winglider)

Beautiful part of the countryside very close to Arundel. A beautiful park and lake that is open to the public. Parking is very limited in the summer when it gets very busy. There is a tea room and toilets at the entrance.
Unfortunatly they did not want me to TOAL on their property so found a spot by the road.

Porthcawl - Sandy bay and Trecco Bay Look Out Tower, Bridgend (By stubbyd)

Lovely open beach and area that I can't believe I haven't previously added.

At this hour it is generally empty, but with the introduction of one of two beach front saunas it has become popular with the early morning "sea dippers" (don't know if there's an official term for what these nutters do).

Also included a shot of the old Coney beach fun fair which is slowly being dismantled [thankfully]. This is meant to be replaced by a development of houses, shops, etc.

There is a large choice of parking, but the closest and easiest is the car park of the Hi Tide Inn, the same Inn that hosts the annual Elvis festival, and is literally right on the edge of Sandy Bay itself.

Cliffe Castle, Bradford (By Rick2522)

Cliffe Castle is a beautifully restored Victorian mansion and museum set within large landscaped parkland on the western edge of Keighley, West Yorkshire. The grounds include wide open lawns, ornamental gardens, glasshouses, fountains, and long tree-lined paths — all surrounded by gently rolling hills and views across the Aire Valley.

For drone flying, it offers a great mix of architectural detail, open space, and scenic landscape, ideal for both cinematic and aerial photography.
