Parking is free and easily accessible to the west of the house (see coordinates above).

Littlecote is not one house but three, the earliest dating back to around 1250. The medieval manor was built by the de Calstone family which in 1415 was passed to the Darrell family who added the Tudor manor. The Pophams acquired the house from the Darrells in 1589 and added the Elizabethan manor.

Because of an alleged curse placed on the house, in 1762 there was no male Popham heir. The heiress, Anne Popham, married General William Leyborne and their son Edward William Leyborne had to add the name Popham to his own in order to inherit.

Much of the house as it exists today was constructed by this family in the laye 16th century. The house remained in the hands of the Leyborne Pophams until 1929 when it was sold to the Wills family. They sold it to the entrepreneur Peter de Savary in 1986. It was bought in 1996 by Warner Holidays, part of the Bourne Leisure Group, who built the present hotel in 1997.

I believe this is the only site with the ruins of a church in Oxfordshire. The church was abandoned in 1875 and quickly fell into disrepair. The site has also been a location used in a couple of horror films from 50 or 60 years ago.

There is a parking verge just opposite the entrance to the field with the church. Just up the road is the Warburg Nature Reserve - worth a visit in its own right, but something to be mindful of when flying here.

About a mile uphill walk - a moderate climb in a couple of places - from the car park / layby (layby is free parking - and you find yourself at the bottom of this series of waterfalls, that drain into Lake Vrynwy.

It is not overly popular but there are a few folks coming and going - they don't tend to hang around more than 10 mins though.

Great cinematic views and some lovely twisty and tight FPV flying up the falls themselves, although not vertical enough for any real 'diving'... AVATA2 coped well, but do watch out for the branches...

Denbies is one of the largest wine estates in the UK covering around 270 acres in the Surrey hills. It produces around 1 million bottles of wine a year.

It can get busy near the main buildings but there are extensive footpaths across the estate to TOAL and the scene changes through the seasons.

Lots of options to fly here if there is no race meeting. Easy parking in the main car park and lots of TOAL options. I took these from the west end but have taken images from the east side and from the downs to the south in the past.

There's parking off the road (hard standing), very short walk to the gates which always seems to be unlocked. Nice to have a wander about, still consecrated grounds, respect given.
