Rusthall Common, Tunbridge Wells (By grandad1950)

It was very muddy and damp when I went but worth a look. A lot of trees with quite a few ponds hidden amongst them. Lots of paths and spring / summer would be a better time to visit.

Pack Horse Bridge & waterfall, Craven (By Seadog)

Opened in 1675. Stainforth Bridge, is a 17th century, arched packhorse bridge over the River Ribble in Stainforth, North Yorkshire, England. The bridge was formerly on the main packhorse road between York and Lancaster. 100 yds away is a very nice little water fall and plunge pool suitable for swimming. Best avoiding summer as can get very busy. Autumn you may be lucky enough to see salmon leaping the falls. The bridge itself is owned by NT however I flew adjacent to waterfall.

Carrington Business Park, Trafford (By AlbionDrones)

A small parking spot next to a natre reserve, just outside the runway extension FRZ for Barton, affording a view over the industrial landscape - in its fading glory - and with pre-dawn colours in the sky...

Watch out for the power lines, and trees, and stay this side of the Paper Mill to avoid the FRZ.

Tattenhall Marina, Chester (By D0c.Col)

Tattenhall Marina is an ideal place to test out your skills flying over water. 9 miles from Chester, and just down the road from Beeston Castle.

Carpark is right next to the moorings and they have a great cafe if you feel peckish.

Rybury Camp, Kennet (By gasbag43)

Just south of Tan Hill in the Vale of Pewsey is a place known as Rybury Camp. It is an ancient earthwork surrounding a flattened plateau on Clifford's Hill.

It can easily be spotted from many directions. It has a distinctive hillfort shape, with a ditch around the perimeter. It was once bustling with activity as the top of the hill as it started off as a causewayed enclosure in the Neolithic period some 5,000 years ago.

Causewayed enclosures are quite rare in Britain, with around 70 recorded nationally. Built during the middle part of the Neolithic, they could have been used for a number of different functions including settlement, defence and ceremonial purposes.

Liverpool Cathedral, Liverpool (By Bradders101)

Fantastic Gothic style Building. The Cathedral security, based at the gate house, don’t allow pilots to take off and land on church grounds, however they advised that I could use the embankment that overlooks the gardens to the rear.

Chastleton House Moreton - In - Marsh, West Oxfordshire (By Kirky)

A real nice place out in the middle of nowhere, many walkers strolling & dog walkers, finding parking wasn’t to bad but was very muddy on the side of the road, I managed to find a TOAL & parking spot off the boundary of NT which also gave me a real good VLOS to Chastleton House, a couple of people passed me who said hello & was no problem at all, I’ll add a bit of history below it’s well worth a visit,
