Hornsea Mere, East Riding of Yorkshire (By MickeyMoo)

Hornsea Mere is owned by Wassand Hall. It is opened to the public for numerous activities. Not sure if drone flying is allowed from the sailing club. The sailing club carpark is only opened during the day. I parked on Hull Road and took a public footpath to capture the footage. Beautiful walk in summer.
Be aware that this is a SSSI site for birds so be alert, careful with your flying.

Be careful, road traffic use this way. Quiet at most times. Plenty of dog walkers, so be careful not to spook our four legged friends.
