Port talbot wales / steel works / Tata added to Iconic Landscapes and Ancient Sites in Wales by Kirky on 22/01/2023

Port talbot steel works also know as TATA, what a massive & stunning place, a true example of industry, I forgot how beautiful wales itself is on my drive, I shall return for other poi nearby, TOAL was very very easy & the few public about are / were very friendly, a few ground hazards so bear that in mind, there are other places to TOAL I noticed, where you can get nearer to the steel works, had it have not been so cold I would have stayed till night time, as this place lights up like a Christmas tree, with a sub 250g drone you could get even closer to the steel works, that said it’s so big, this place would make good for someone with video skills with their drone, this place is a must, best place I’ve visited since I’ve been flying drones.

Prospect Park and The Mansion House (By apreading)

Plenty of parking in or around the park. Dense woodland at the top, so probably best to fly the drone from the open areas at the foot of the hill, which are wide open spaces.

The Mansion House has an interesting history and is an iconic and well known building in West Reading. Some

Prospect Park is a public park situated north of the A4 (Bath Road) in the western suburbs of Reading.
It is the largest park in Reading, and includes a large regency style house, known as The Mansion House (previously as Prospect House).

Old Auchans house (By Kcscott)

Large trees located round the perimeter and some smaller ones inside the castle walls.
Area has been fenced off due to safety concerns for the structure so access to the castle isn't allowed.

History of Auchans House:
It was originally a mid 16th century stone Z-plan tower house, founded by William Wallace of Dundonald and Auchans. Built with materials removed from Dundonald Castle, the long main block, is of three storeys and an attic. With its vaulted basements and being of slightly different construction, it could be part of an earlier building. Flanking its south wall, is a central round stair tower and a terrace which was originally encased by a barmkin wall. In 1640, the house was converted into a L-plan, when Sir William Cochrane of Cowdon, added a wing of three storeys and a garret. In 1667, the wing was extended by the addition of a block with a crow-stepped gable, flanked by a round stair tower and a corbelled-out square, round angle tower. The main entrance in the re-entrant angle, was through a Renaissance-style doorway below an armorial shield in the square stair-turret. Sadly this once magnificent Scottish baronial residence, is now a complete ruin

Harborough Rocks (By Earwig)

Several of us have flown here. I'm surprised it hasn't been added previously.

Nice, open area for FPV cruising, with some interesting features, both natural and man-made, if you want to do a bit of proximity flying.
Not usually very busy, despite being right next to the Tissington Trail and popular with rock climbers - just keep away from them. Extensive views across the Dales from the trig point at the top of the hill. It can get windy.

Parking at ///submerge.financial.trespass (what3words) and along the road.
