This is a lovely long stretch of beach that is popular with dog walkers, and occasional kite board surfers. But it is usually fairly deserted at start and end of day. There are two shipwrecks depending on tide (and I strongly advise checking otherwise there will be no beach). From my mark, you can go left for one, and right for the other, and I will post a separate location for the HMV Altmark. The attached image shows my drone looking right from the footpath towards the steel works.There are, as you will have walked through it, a large train yard here. From teh right location you can get good shots of goods wagons, etc..The point I have marked is where the footpath comes out that you get to by leaving the M4 at Junction 38 and taking an immediate left if heading West. Follow that road all the way down to the train tracks and park up. Then cross the lines, and keep going straight. When the road starts to curve you will see a footpath by a fence and then the beach - approx a mile and 20m good walk.The beach is also accessible from Kenfig Nature Reserve (see another of my locations) and runs all the way from Nottage to the old docks at Port Talbot - all told, just short of 7 miles of sand.

Ingram village is located within Northumberland National Park who have a sensible drone policy. Directions.....from the A697 Morpeth to Wooler road take the junction signposted Ingram just north of the village of Powburn , follow the road to Ingram bridge where refreshments are available, from here a single track road continues up the valley leading to a WC block and grassy picnic/parking areas, further up the valley there is limited parking where the road ends and you can walk to Linhope spout waterfall.

Turn of the A591 at the South end of the lake. Follow the narrow road along the shore. You can park in one of the NT car parks or if you re lucky you may find a space in one of the laybys along the road, then it just a short walk to the lakeside.

Head towards the White Horse at Devizes, about 100m before the car park by the horse, there is a left turn signposted "Leipzig Plantation". Head up that narrow, windy road for about half a mile. The road will turn to gravel. You can either park at this point, or if you you have 4x4, you can continue for about another 1/4 miles down the straight track, which is what I did. At the end, there is ample room for about 6 cars. Go through the little gate and its about a 10 minute walk to the site. You will be well rewarded for your journey, as the views are to die for.

Hest Bank shore is next to the West Coast mainline and a lovely part of the area. Plenty of parking, small café open when it's worth them opening which is most days. Nice walk along the shore and good for taking the dog for a walk. Not the best photo to show off the area but I was testing DJI Fly 1.4.12 and wrong time of day for the sun.Turn off the main road at ///pelted.beaters.shredder and parking is along the shore the other side of the line.
