Leighton Buzzard Railway added to Everything Else in East of England by Acedrone on 22/08/2021

Built in 1919 to carry sand from the pits to the north of Leighton Buzzard to the canal and standard gauge railway to the south, the Leighton Buzzard Light Railway was the epitome of an English narrow gauge industrial railway. Although it briefly used two steam locomotives when it opened, for almost all of its lifetime it used characteristic Motor Rail "Simplex" petrol and diesel locos. These were first developed for use in the trenches of the first world war and continue in production today. The line eventually had more than 40 of these rail tractors, with many more employed in the sand quarries themselves.

In 1969 the railway sucuumbed to road transport, but a few dedicated volunteers saved most of the line and restored it to working order. For the first time in its history, passengers were carried. Steam haulage was re-introduced after a 50 years absence. The line now runs from Pages Park to Stonehenge and offers a fascinating glimpse into Britain's industrial past. In addition to a collection of steam locomotives from the UK and around the globe, the Leighton Buzzard has perhaps the most comprehensive collection of ex-industrial internal combustion loocomotives in the world. It offers a ride that passes through industrial units, housing estates and open countryside and climbs what may be the steepest section of adhesion-worked public railway in the UK.

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...

Scampston Hall & Walled Garden, Ryedale (By D0c.Col)

Scampston Hall, near Malton in North Yorkshire, is a beautiful historic building in the midst of a huge parkland estate with wonderful gardens. It's one of Yorkshire’s most elegant country estates.

The story of the St Quintin family, and the late Georgian remodelling associated with architect Thomas Leverton is fascinating but be warned it is open on selected days only and filming inside the house is not possible.

The parkland is connected with the age of Capability Brown and Scampston’s celebrated Walled Garden, was redesigned by Dutch garden designer Piet Oudolf. With its modern planting, grasses, perennials and seasonal structure, the garden gives this historic estate a striking contemporary chapter.

A typical Brown designed lake is a great feature and is certainly one of Yorkshires great historic houses to visit.

This is not a National Trust property, and I am unsure of their policy on drones. The family also are also in residence, therefore I would advise on discretion when it comes to TOAL. I found a couple of quiet spots to film from and waited until there was hardly anyone about during my payed entry visit.

The hall itself is a great example of late 18th century architecture and the interior tours are well worth the visit.

Clarence Park Lido - Bury Model Boating Club, Bury (By AlbionDrones)

Clarence Park Lido, home of the Bury Model Boating Club, a welcoming group of folks who build, sail and race model boats - ranging from hyper-detailed scale models, through to a monthly Club 500 and Club 65 racing event!

The park is popular, but keeping the drone over the water and staying small in size means you can fly safely enough.

Free on-site car parking, and a clubhouse for members, with facilities...
