Trebarwith Strand is a stunning and dramatic beach located on the North Cornwall coast, near Tintagel. It's known for its vast expanse of golden sand at low tide, framed by towering, rugged cliffs and rock formations. The beach is exposed to the Atlantic, making it popular with surfers when the conditions are right, and the tide comes in quickly, completely covering the sand at high tide.

It's an excellent place to fly a drone for several reasons:

Dramatic Coastal Landscape: The imposing cliffs, rock stacks, and the wide, open beach provide incredibly cinematic and visually striking aerial footage. The contrast between the golden sand and the dark, craggy rocks is beautiful.

Dynamic Tides: The rapid change between low and high tide offers unique opportunities to capture the transformation of the landscape, showcasing the power of the sea.

Surfing Action: If surfers are out, a drone can capture dynamic action shots from perspectives that are impossible from the shore, highlighting the waves and the sport.

Proximity to Landmarks: Its location near The Port William pub and the path towards Tintagel Castle means you can capture broader coastal narratives.

Expansive Views: The open nature of the beach and surrounding cliffs allows for sweeping panoramic shots and impressive wide-angle views of the coastline.

Important Note for Drone Pilots: As with any coastal location, always be mindful of strong winds, rapidly changing weather conditions, and the tide times at Trebarwith Strand. Also, adhere to all local drone regulations and safety guidelines, especially regarding proximity to people and wildlife.

Castle Ditches is the site of an Iron Age trivallate (3 walls of defence) hillfort in the south-east of Tisbury in Wiltshire.It is probable that its ancient name was Spelsbury.

Its shape is roughly triangular, and follows the contours of the small hill upon which it sits. The earthworks are made up of a triple row of ramparts and ditches, now covered on three sides by woodland.

There is a large entrance towards the south-east, where there is the shallowest incline of the hill; but there is also a narrow slit on the opposite side. The area within the site encompasses nearly 24 acres (9.7 ha), and the greatest height of the ramparts is about 40 feet (12 m).

Castle Ditches was recorded as a Scheduled Monument in 1932

Access to the perimeter of this hillfort is via public footpaths, but the interior is private property

Castle Rings is a univallate (i.e. single wall) hill fort close to Donhead St Mary in Wiltshire. The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and has been dated to the Iron Age.

The rampart of the fort stands 2.8 metres (9.2 ft) high with a 0.4-metre (1.3 ft) deep ditch. The ditch is set between double earth banks. The ditch averages 16 metres (52 ft) wide and varies in depth to a maximum of 4.4 metres (14 ft). The inner rampart has an average width of 8 metres (26 ft) and stands 1.9 metres (6.2 ft) above the internal surface level of the fort.[5]

The fort measures 320 by 200 metres (1,050 by 660 ft) (NS by EW), enclosing an area of 5.2 hectares (12.8 acres).

The roughly oval rampart of the fort is overgrown with trees and bushes. The interior of Castle Rings is flat and used for pasture. There is no visible evidence of Iron Age occupation, from the ground or the air.

In the mid-1980s a metal detectorist unearthed a hoard of coins of the Durotriges tribe within the hill fort and was subsequently fined for looting a Scheduled Ancient Monument. 88 coins were found in all.

The finds were handed over to the police and in 1987 were declared treasure trove by an inquest, which found that the metal detectorist had excavated a 30-centimetre (1 ft) deep hole into the upper section of the outer bank and therefore the find fell within the bounds of the scheduled monument. The finder was prosecuted under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 and fined £100 (equivalent to £355 in modern currency)

Caerphilly Castle is one of the great medieval castles of western Europe. Several factors give it this claim to fame - its immense size (30 acres / 12 hectares, making it the largest in Britain after Windsor), its large-scale use of water for defence and the fact that it is the first truly concentric castle in Britain. Of the time of its building in the late 13th century, it was a revolutionary masterpiece of military planning

The castle was constructed in the 13th century and saw extensive fighting soon after its completion. It was attacked during the Madog ap Llywelyn revolt of 1294, the Llywelyn Bren uprising in 1316 and during the overthrow of Edward II in 1326–27. In the late 15th century, however, it fell into decline and by the 16th century the lakes had drained away and the walls were robbed of their stone. The Marquesses of Bute acquired the property in 1776 and under the third and fourth Marquesses extensive restoration took place.

In 1950 the castle and grounds were given to the state and the water defences were re-flooded. In the 21st century, the Welsh heritage agency Cadw manages the site as a tourist attraction.

The long-running British television show Doctor Who chose Caerphilly Castle as a filming location for several episodes, including "The End of Time" in 2009, "The Vampires in Venice" in 2010, two parter "The Rebel Flesh" and "The Almost People" in 2011; "Robot of Sherwood" in 2014 and "Heaven Sent" in 2015

Winkelbury Camp is an Iron Age hillfort, a short distance south-east of the village of Berwick St John, in Wiltshire. It is a scheduled monument.

The fort is on the northern spur of Winkelbury Hill. A single rampart bank forming a rough oval, 382 by 160 metres (1,253 by 525 ft), encloses an area of about 7.5 hectares (19 acres). The bank is up to 2.5 metres (8 ft 2 in) high, with an outer ditch up to 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) deep and 4 metres (13 ft) wide. There are various hollows within the fort, which are interpreted as indications of buildings and pits for storage or refuse.

Excavations have established that there were at least two occupation periods, probably in the early and late Iron Age.

The banks of the fort and the accompanying ditches appear to have been built as a series of separate lengths. The earliest part was two unaligned banks in the south with a central gap; the banks on the west and east were constructed later; and the last phase was the building of a curved bank across the interior to create a small oval area of about 3 hectares (7.4 acres) at the north end.

It has been suggested that the purpose of the camp was not just military: it was constructed according to the changing circumstances around the site over time
