Shaw House Berkshire added to Historic Buildings in South East by Kirky on 23/06/2024

Shaw house west Berkshire Newbury,
Elizabethan Mansion built in 1851, now serves other purposes which I shall attach link / history, I went here on a Saturday evening just before sunset & sat outside before I got the drone up just staring at the buildings character & surroundings, TOAL is easy & building was closed when visited,
I know this area very well & is lovely on a nice day, there is a church to the left & a further few hundred yards to the left is a leisure centre, was very quiet & peaceful but I do know it can get busy in & around with public, dog walkers etc, when your facing the building a couple of hundred yards behind you is an opening which takes you in to some woodland / park that runs alongside the A34, there are benches in there for seating & a couple of people just chilling out, gorgeous surroundings well worth a visit & there's plenty of parking spaces as well.

Higham, Gravesham (By outdoorswithmatt)

It’s a lovely location near to but not in the village of Higham in Kent. I’ve never seen anyone else there but it is a public right of way and has a signpost clearly saying public footpath. There is a private residence next to one of the lakes, so keep in mind the privacy of the occupants and avoid flying near to it even with a sub 250g drone like the DJI Flip.

Old Bedford River and New Bedford River floodplain, East Cambridgeshire (By liberator24)

This is the floodplain between the New Bedford River and the Old Bedford River. The construction of these was carried out in the 1600s by Dutch drainage engineer Cornelius Vermuyden in order to drain the Fens, making the suitable for farming. The floodplain is a SSSI, but would appear to relate to plants and riverlife.
