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 !

St Nicholas Church, Wells next the Sea, North Norfolk (By Fuzzyjack)

A really lovely church with some fantastic woodwork on the inside of the roof.

Most of the local area is in the Holkham estate who do not give permission to TOAL from their land but Wells itself is mostly not owned by the estate. I did pop into the church and say hello to some lovely ladies and leave a small cash donation in the little box.

River Thames, Marlow, Buckinghamshire (By Djiman61)

Picturesque town of Marlow in Buckinghamshire.

Known for its Suspension bridge in the middle of town. Very large Weir next to its lock and from the air gives stunning footage.

TOAL was from the river bank just upstream from the bridge but plenty of open spaces to take off from.

Marlow can be very busy so be mindful of walkers, dogs etc.

Dudmaston Hall, Shropshire (By D0c.Col)

Dudmaston Hall, a beautiful National Trust country house near Bridgnorth in Shropshire, filmed with a mix of ground footage and aerial views.

At first glance, Dudmaston looks like a traditional English country home, with its red-brick frontage, formal gardens, woodland and peaceful lake views. But behind that calm exterior is a story stretching back nearly 900 years.

In this video, we look at the long history of the Wolryche and Wolryche-Whitmore family, including the Civil War Royalist Sir Thomas Wolryche, the building of the present hall in the late 17th century, and the later alterations by local architect and builder John Smalman.

We also explore the story of William Wolryche-Whitmore, the Shropshire politician and reformer who supported the abolition of slavery, and Geoffrey Wolryche-Whitmore, remembered for his work with forestry on the Dudmaston estate.

But Dudmaston has one more surprise — inside this traditional country house is an important collection of modern art, shaped by Sir George and Lady Rachel Labouchere, who helped secure the house, estate and collections for the public through the National Trust.

From its historic rooms and gardens to the lake, woodland and wider estate, Dudmaston Hall is one of Shropshire’s most quietly fascinating places.

I filmed Dudmaston over in 2025 and 2026 from two different places. One when the hall was open and last summer when it was closed. Both were from a public path that runs through the estate, but be advised you are still within the NT boundary.

The family still live in the hall and therefore it is closed during the winter months and every Friday and Saturday.

Embury Beacon hillfort, Torridge (By gasbag43)

Perched on a windswept headland along the North Devon coast, Embury Beacon Hill Fort is a striking monument to Britain's Iron Age past. This coastal promontory hill fort, dating back over 2,000 years, once served as a heavily defended tribal stronghold. Its inhabitants utilized a complex system of massive earthen ramparts and ditches to safeguard their community, livestock, and vital maritime trade routes.


These aerial photographs capture the bittersweet reality of the site today. While the expansive panoramas showcase the lush, vibrant green patchwork of Devon's agricultural clifftops meeting the Atlantic, they also document a disappearing legacy. As seen from above, centuries of relentless coastal erosion have dramatically sheared away the cliff face, swallowed the northern defences, and left nearly half of the original prehistoric fort lost to the ocean below.


The high-altitude perspectives highlight the sweeping paths of the South West Coast Path slicing through the landscape, offering a sense of scale. The contrast between the soft, rolling pastures and the fractured, jagged rock platforms stretching into the surf underscores why this spot was chosen for defence—and why it remains so vulnerable.


For history enthusiasts and landscape photographers alike, the location balance the timeless, rugged charm of the English coastline with a reminder of nature's power to slowly reclaim human history.

It's a National Trust site, so TOAL is outside of the location's boundary. Parking is in a lay-by big enough for only 2 cars and a 20 minute walk in along the coastal path
