Port of Felixstowe added to Coastal Scenery in East of England by liberator24 on 24/01/2025

The Port of Felixstowe, in Felixstowe, Suffolk, is the United Kingdom's largest container port, dealing with 48% of Britain's containerised trade.

In 2017, it was ranked as 43rd busiest container port in the world and 8th in Europe, with a handled traffic of 3.85 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU). In 2019 it was ranked the UK's 7th busiest port.

The port is operated by the Felixstowe Dock and Railway Company, which was set up under an Act of Parliament, the Felixstowe Railway and Pier Act 1875, and so is one of the few limited companies in the UK that do not have the word "Limited" in their name.

Much of the land on which it sits is owned by Trinity College, Cambridge, which in the 1930s bought some land near Felixstowe which included a dock that was too small to be included in the National Dock Labour Scheme. In 1967, it set up Britain's first container terminal for £3.5m in a deal with Sea-Land Service.

Pride Park Stadium, Derby (By D0c.Col)

THE EVER CHANGING FORTUNES OF DERBY COUNTY FOOTBALL CLUB

Derby County Football Club is a professional association football club in Derby, England. They compete in the EFL Championship, the second level of the English football league system (At the time this video which was published during the 2024/25 season).
One of the 12 founder members of the Football League in 1888, Derby County is one of only nine clubs to have competed in every season of the English football league system (126 seasons up to the end of the 2024–25 season), with all but six of those being in the top two divisions.
The club was founded in 1884 by William Morley as an offshoot of Derbyshire Coun-ty Cricket Club. Its competitive peak came in the 1970s when it twice won the First Division and competed in major European competitions on four occasions, reaching the European Cup semi-finals as well as winning several minor trophies. Additionally, the club was a strong force in the interwar years – finishing league runner-up twice in the 1930s – and winning the first post-war FA Cup in 1946.
The club's home colours have been black and white since the 1890s. The team's nick-name, The Rams, honours its links with the First Regiment of Derby Militia, its mas-cot being a ram, and its regimental song. They have a long-standing rivalry with Not-tingham Forest, with whom they contest the East Midlands derby.
The best era for the club was in the 1970s when Brian Clough and Peter Taylor took over and led Derby to its greatest glory. Starting at 18th in the Second Division in 1968, Clough and Taylor acquired Alan Hinton, Roy McFarland, and John O'Hare, then clinched the influential signing of Dave Mackay to lead the club to 1st place in 1969, and promotion to the First Division. Derby went on to finish fourth in 1970. Due to financial issues the club were banned from competing in Europe but went on to win their first ever Football League Championship in 1972. Though Derby did not retain their title the following season, they did reach the semi-finals of the European Cup, where they lost to Juventus. Clough's frequent outspoken comments against football's establishment eventually led to him falling out with the board of directors at the club, and Clough and Taylor left in October 1973. Such was their impact on the club that, 37 years later, a 9 ft (2.75 metres) bronze statue of the pair was erected out-side Pride Park in commemoration of their legacy.
After finishing in 12th place in their first season back in the top flight league, the club left the Baseball Ground, its home of 102 years, to move into the new 33,597-seat Pride Park Stadium for the 1997–98 season. The Baseball Ground was demolished six years later and a memorial was eventually erected in memory of its role in Derby city history.
A sudden decline at the turn of the millennium saw three years of struggle for the club and in April 2006, a consortium of local businessmen led by former vice-chairman Peter Gadsby purchased the club, reducing its debt and returning Pride Park Stadium to the club's ownership in the process.
Over the next decade, or so, the club had mixed fortunes, various owners, and a change in it’s stadium name, only for it to return to it’s original name of ‘Pride Park Stadium’ some years later, and is currently on its longest spell outside of the top tier.
Clowes Developments (UK) Ltd purchased Pride Park from Mel Morris on 17 June 2022 and remains the current owner, as the club competes in the second tier in the 2024–25 season.

Park right in front of the stadium for free (non match day). In the heart of Derby City so plenty to see if your in the locality.

Crail harbour, Crail and Boarhills (By outRAGEis)

A great wee place to film, not very busy and the harbour is actually quite small given how popular this area is with fishermen and other boating related activities. There's not too many people, but there are a few birds that'll come to investigate so keep your guard up especially if you need to get that footage from a high vantage point.

parking is easy, up on the road and it's free too. Just be mindful of other road users and locals alike.

Red Castle (By outRAGEis)

A great place to get out and boost your Vitamin D supply in the sun and get some great flying time too. The Red Castle is easy to get to, there;'s access from the road which is big enough for only one car. I never realised this until I got home and viewed the footage back as I parked at nearby Lunan Bay. A few birds are nesting, pigeons, seagulls and Kites which can be a bit tricky depending on the time of day that you arrive.

All in all a really great place just be mindful of the the sun's rays on the water and surrounding beach so I needed a ND64 filter even at 12pm. Access is simple as I've mentioned above, Lunan Bay car park is free, just make sure that you're away by 9m or you get locked in. The Flight Restricted Zone nearby notification is for the railway line. Just don't do anything stupid such as low flying over the tracks when a train passes by, or even try to follow the train for a more "cinematic" feel.

Wharton Hall, Eden (By markas)

Wharton Hall is a fortified manor house, situated two miles south of Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria, England. The hall was founded around 1415 by the Wharton family, who further extended the property in the middle of the 16th century. A deer park was established around the enlarged manor house, requiring the relocation of the local village community.

Wharton Hall fell into disuse and was sold off in 1728 after the attainder of Philip, the Duke of Wharton. James, the Earl of Lonsdale, restored much of the hall in 1785, letting it out for use as a farmhouse. It continues to form part of a farm in the 21st century.

Lammerside Castle Cumbria, Eden (By markas)

Lammerside Castle is a 12th century building which was rebuilt and strengthened in the 14th century as a Pele tower, to provide protection against scots raiders. It is situated on the bridle path between Pendragon Castle and Wharton Hall.

The ruins include the upstanding remains of a C14 tower or wing which originally formed part of the building’s central core, together with the earthwork remains of buildings to the north and south of the tower and a barmkin wall which enclosed a yard to the west of the tower.

The castle was occupied by a branch of the Wharton family, but is thought to have been abandoned in C17, when the family moved to the fortified manor house, Wharton Hall, near Kirkby Stephen.

The tower is constructed of coursed, squared rubble, measures 14m by 11m, with a barrel-vaulted ground floor, and survives to two storeys high.

St John the Evangelist RC church, Bath and North East Somerset (By gasbag43)

St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church is located on the South Parade in the south-east section of Bath City Centre

The structure was designed and built between 1861-3 by Charles Francis Hansom, who was the brother of J. A. Hansom, the creator of the Hansom cab.

While Bath is perhaps better known for the Anglican Abbey just up the road, it is the spire of St John’s that dominates the city’s skyline as it is the tallest building in the area – its 222-foot (68 m) spire was added by Hansom in 1867.

TOAL was from the public footpath directly opposite on the other bank of the river
