I visited this location early one Sundt morning (07:00) at a low tide and parked on the slipway itself. I doubt that it will be possible to fly from here once the world has woken up!It is in the coastal scenery category but could equally fit into several other slots - to the north are the buildings of Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard and the preserved ships - HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and HMS Driftwood - the Mary Rose.I was there to photograph the rilway station but the modern buildings of Gunwharf Quays and the 170 metre Spinnaker Tower are to the south with the Wightlink ferry and the buildings of Old Portsmouth and Spice Island further south and within VLOS - if your aircraft is big enough.I was there for over half an hour with no-one taking any notice.Be aware that there is a High Intensity Radio Transmission Area on the chart just to the north. I encountered no problems and suspect that the area tends to be active 9-5 weekdays. But make sure you have your home point established before flying out over the water!

The very tall St Mary's Church in South Dalton. The Northern edge of the plot sits against a field so there are a few field entrances and large verges to park up. Its tall so you will need a bit of distance to get it all in shot. I pulled in at https://w3w.co/language.sprint.suesIf just as impressive on the inside if it open so worth a look.

I parked on the road which is wide enough for vehicles to pass. I then took off from the pavement. A few people passed me while I was flying and no one took much of an interest.
