Millennium Field / Sheet Allotments added to Parks and Recreation in South East by AeroJ on 09/08/2024

Hidden away in the tiny village of Sheet, Hampshire is a little gem of a fly site, if luck is on your side ! Approaching Sheet from the Petersfield side, turn right down Mill Lane (VERY narrow) and work your way down to a tiny car park on your left, which borders the ambitiously-named 'Millennium field'.

This field is small, overgrown, and unspectacular in and of itself, but the brilliance of this site lies in the huge allotments garden to the left and the very close proximity to the railway line at the far end (careful of that !). There will be 'some dogs', probably not on leads, and long grasses everywhere except the bits where the dogs pass, so bring a landing pad and launch off-path if you can.

How we fly here depends on whether you have been over to talk to people working on their allotments first ! If you are lucky, then there'll only be a few people there working on their plots, and if you ask nicely they may agree to let you TOAL from the paths within the allotment (bonus, no dogs!), and allow close-pass flights over the gardens, which makes for exceptionally interesting footage of some very well-maintained little patchwork plots !

But if luck is not on your side the people you ask may insist that you have to write to the allotment co-ordinator, put signs up, get EVERYONE's permission before you can fly, and basically it's a no-go from them for that day ! In that case I inform them that I can legally fly from the field right next door, and they should expect drone movement in the vicinity, but that I will keep high over their allotments and not hover there for extended periods of time.. The gardens still look amazing from high up, so it's not a total loss if this happens, and still worth burning a pack on ! But if they let you down to head-height, then you can spend a solid hour filming this without much repetition !

Penmon Priory, Isle of Anglesey (By D0c.Col)

Penmon Priory is on the eastern tip of Anglesey. A peaceful historic site with roots stretching back more than 1,400 years.

Founded in the 6th century by Saint Seiriol, Penmon became an important early Christian site before later developing into an Augustinian priory. Although the original monastery was largely destroyed during Viking raids in 971, the community survived, and the priory was rebuilt in stone during the medieval period.

The church still survivies and serves the parish. The atmospheric priory remains, the ancient carved crosses, and the remarkable nearby Penmon Dovecote, once home to hundreds of pigeons and doves are all fascinating to see.

Drone footage can be taken overlooking the Menai Strait and the mountains of Snowdonia. Penmon is one of those quiet Welsh heritage sites where history, landscape and atmosphere come together beautifully.

There is a small charge if you want to use the Priory carpark, that also applies to the nearby Penmon Point Lighthouse just a little further on up the toll road, where there is also a cafe and toilets.

National Indoor Athletics Centre [NIAC] - Cardiff, Cardiff (By stubbyd)

Not the most inspiring of images, but truth be told I was tired after being on my feet for the prior 8hrs shooting our annual martial arts tournament.

Also, the title is a little misleading as the 'indoor' part is all under that curved white/gey roof. What can be seen is 'Cardiff Met FC' (aka Cyncoed Stadium) and the outdoor tracks which, I'm told, also hosts the NIAC Junior Parkrun.

There is plenty of parking here, but it is at a cost and being private land I don't know their stance on TOAL. However, there is plenty of on-street parking and spots to TOAL and land from and I've marked one of each of these.

Gruinard Bay, Ross and Cromarty North West (By AlbionDrones)

Bullers of Buchan (By AlbionDrones)

Stunning Sea cliffs, turquoise sea, amazing light, just had to be flown!

A short walk on a dirt path from the free car parking, no facilities, and some cliff edges to be careful around..

Lots of birds, hence ot flying through the arches, and keeping the drone higher. It is an SSSI, but we flew before the breeding season had properly started, and didnt upset any of the birds anyway...

St Lawrence’s Church, Mereworth, Tonbridge and Malling (By Venners07)

St Lawrence’s Church was built for the 7th Earl of Westmorland in 1744-46, probably to a design by Roger Morris, previously an assistant to Colen Campbell who had designed the neo-Palladian Mereworth Castle for Lord Westmorland twenty years before. It replaced a church, mediaeval with a low tower, next to the castle.

St Lawrence’s is unique among country parish churches, with one of the most remarkable neo-classical interiors in Europe, designed like a Roman basilica. All its surfaces are painted with trompe l’oeil classical designs, and organ pipes are depicted on the west wall above the gallery. The ornate tower and spire have close similarities with several significant town churches, notably James Gibbs’s baroque St Martin-in-the-Fields, London. The display of heraldic glass, contemporary with the church, is unique, and there are also some fine late 19th stained glass windows.

Mediaeval monuments from the earlier church were transferred here in 1744 and can be seen in the NW and SW corners of St Lawrence’s. There is a peal of six bells, rung every Sunday and at all other services.

Major repairs were made to the tower and spire and the interior paintwork was repaired and conserved in 2007-9. This work cost almost £1 million.

Hadlow Castle, Tonbridge and Malling (By Venners07)

Hadlow Castle, located in Kent, England, was an 18th-century Gothic-style country house largely demolished in the 20th century. Its most famous surviving feature is the Grade I Listed Hadlow Tower (or "May's Folly"), a 52-meter (170ft) tower restored in 2013. As of 2026, the tower, known as the tallest residential folly in the UK, has been listed for sale.

Built around 1838 by Walter Barton May, the tower was designed by George Ledwell Taylor with an octagonal design, often cited as a "Rapunzel-style" structure.

The main house was demolished in the mid-20th century. Following damage in the 1987 storm, the tower was later rescued, restored by the Vivat Trust in 2012–2013, and subsequently used as luxury accommodation.

The Tower was sold in 2020 for £1.23 million and by late 2025 was listed for sale again at a higher price, with its status as a public visitor site potentially changing. It offers stunning 360-degree views of the Kent countryside from the top, features a lift for access, and includes ornate Gothic architecture.

NOTE - this is a private residence so I advise keeping flying to a sensible distance from Tower.

TOAL is possible from a public footpath at the back of the castle. Very open with fields to the back, also good for a flight and some pretty pictures.

Tranquil area, good car park from which to launch and land. Be careful though as the Reservoir itself is an SSSI - so don't overfly it. Keep away from the water.
