Church of St Mary's, Monmouthshire (By gasbag43)

The Church of St Mary stands in the centre of the village of Magor, Monmouthshire. It was designated a Grade I listed building in 1963.

The oldest parts of the church are the chancel and tower which date from the 13th and 14th centuries, although a church is purported to have been founded here as early as the 7th century by Cadwaladr Fendigaid who was a Welsh prince and the last Welsh ruler to call himself King of Britain - he died of the plague in 664 AD.

The church was subsequently dedicated to St Leonard, until the mid-nineteenth century restoration, when it was rededicated to St Mary.

The large nave with both north and south aisles was rebuilt in the 15th century. The elaborate north porch was added possibly as late as 1510-1520 and it can be seen how the north aisle had to be adapted to allow for the addition of the porch.

Next to the church stands The Procurator's House, a sixteenth-century house, now ruined, which belonged to the vicarage of Magor

Heston Brake, Monmouthshire (By gasbag43)

The long barrow near Portskewett is called Heston Brake. It's a Neolithic chambered tomb located in a field on a hill overlooking the Severn Estuary. The site is also known as a "dolmen" or "cairn".

Heston Brake is situated in a field near Portskewett, specifically on the brow of a hill overlooking the Severn Estuary. It's about half a mile northeast of Portskewett

The entrance to the barrow is marked by a small group of puddingstones. In 1888, the chamber of the barrow was excavated and human skeletons, cattle bones, and pottery were found.

The site is on private land but can be accessed via a public footpath. The footpath is reached by a kissing gate about 150 meters from the main road towards Leechpool.

Be wary of lots of overhead cables criss-crossing the site

The barrow is over 4,000 years old, dating back to the Neolithic period. It is considered a significant site and is sometimes mentioned alongside other dolmens like Garn Llwyd and Gwern-y-Clepp

Acton Court, South Gloucestershire (By gasbag43)

Acton Court is the historic manor house of Iron Acton in Gloucestershire. It is a grade I listed building of Tudor architecture and has recently been extensively restored.

The Poyntz family owned the property from 1364 until 1680. Nicholas Poyntz(died 1557) added the East Wing onto the existing moated manor house shortly before 1535. Construction took about 9 months to complete. Subsequently, the wing was lavishly and fashionably decorated to impress Henry VIII. The king and his second wife, Anne Boleyn, stayed in the house in 1535, during a tour of the West Country. Building work continued at Acton Court until Nicholas died in 1557.

When the direct line of succession ended in 1680, the house was sold. It was reduced in size and converted for use as a tenanted farmhouse. Due to neglect, the house gradually fell into a dilapidated state.

By the end of the 20th century, practically only the East Wing survived. However, the neglect resulted in a rare example of Tudor royal state apartments being preserved virtually intact. The house was purchased at auction in 1984

Little Clett Rock, Caithness North East (By JoeC)

Little Clett is a sea stack of red sandstone sitting in Brough Harbour on Dunnet Head. Although it's possible to walk out to it at low tide, I wouldn't recommend it (especially since the drone can get there for you easily)

Dodington House, South Gloucestershire (By gasbag43)

Dodington Park is a country house and estate in Dodington, South Gloucestershire. The house was built between 1796 and 1816 by James Wyatt for Christopher Bethell Codrington (of the Codrington baronets). The family had made their fortune from sugar plantations in the Caribbean and were significant owners of slaves. It remained in the Codrington family until 1980; it is now owned by the British businessman James Dyson who snapped it up in 2003 for £15m

The estate comprises some 300 acres (120 ha) of landscaped park with woods, lakes, lodges, a dower house, an orangery, a church, and a walled kitchen garden. Formal gardens adjoin the main house. The house is Grade I listed on the National Heritage List for England and the landscaped park is Grade II listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. The dower house, orangery, and St Mary's Church which all adjoin the house are also each individually Grade I listed, as is the Bath lodge at the southern part of the estate

With 4,840 sq yds to an acre, the wider estate has 1,452,000 sq yds of space – according to the Daily Express newspaper, you could fit 17,900 normal homes into that…

Parking was in a layby just outside the boundary wall, TOAL was from the Cotswold Way footpath that runs through the grounds
