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.

At the point marked is a gateway to keep off the roadway for TOAL.I would imagine parking nearer to the event area may cause some concern from security on site during festival season.
Land owner permission requirements unknown.

Corfe Castle is a fortification standing above the village of the same name on the Isle of Purbeck peninsula in the English county of Dorset. Built by William the Conqueror, the castle dates to the 11th century and commands a gap in the Purbeck Hills on the route between Wareham and Swanage. The first phase was one of the earliest castles in England to be built at least partly using stone when the majority were built with earth and timber. Corfe Castle underwent major structural changes in the 12th and 13th centuries.In 1572, Corfe Castle left the Crown's control when Elizabeth I sold it to Sir Christopher Hatton. Sir John Bankes bought the castle in 1635, and was the owner during the English Civil War. His wife, Lady Mary Bankes, led the defence of the castle when it was twice besieged by Parliamentarian forces. The first siege, in 1643, was unsuccessful, but by 1645 Corfe was one of the last remaining royalist strongholds in southern England and fell to a siege ending in an assault. In March that year Corfe Castle was slighted on Parliament's orders. Owned by the National Trust, the castle is open to the public and in 2018 received around 237,000 visitors.I made sure i wasnt on NT land so i chose the location below shorturl.at/dfCJM

Sankey Valley Park is a public park in Warrington. It is a linear park so runs the length of much of the western area of the town along the course of Sankey brook and the St. Helens Canal. Be aware that the park is quite narrow at points due to its linear nature and is intersected by an active railway and road at different points too.

Decent gap in the hedges for on the footpath along the Derwent. Gap is roughly where pin is dropped. Parked in the McDonalds near by with no issues. Good VLOS available in most directions and having the river, wind turbines and water treatment plant near by make for some interesting shots.
