Where can I fly my drone in the UK and get £5,000,000 Public Liability Insurance cover? Welcome to Drone Scene!

Parked on a gravelled patch of land: ///plus.blunt.amuse this is at the end of Sandy Lane, there are a couple of schools on this road, I visited on a Sunday so no one around to worry.

There is a stadium nearby so if you have a DJi drone you need to request an unlock before you can take off.

Stunning scenery, lots of places to park and access the top, however to note it is a good 400m climb from the bottom car park to the top, although you can fly it from the car park (ringo app if you are cashless, although they do have pay machines too)

When the grandiose vision of India Mill first formed in the mind of Eccles Shorrock, he could have had no idea that world events were conspiring to frustrate his ambitions.

It has been described as the most important textile building in North East Lancashire and was constructed during the period 1859 to 1871. The actual building was completed by the mid 1860s, but all the machinery was not installed until 1871.

Civil war in America was Eccles Shorrock's downfall. A blockade of the Southern states meant no cotton coming out, which meant no work in Lancashire, which meant famine.

Eccles Shorrock was punished for his grand ambitions, he went bankrupt and died of ill health in Edinburgh. India Mills continued as the Darwen Cotton Spinning Company Ltd. until 1933 when it became India Mills (Darwen Ltd.). In 1954 William Baird acquired the company and in 1974 Carrington Viyella took it over. The mill closed in 1991.

Situated on a promontory above Yarow Water the ruined powerhouse dominates the landscape, and when surrounded by autumnal colours in the trees it makes a stunning subject for a short video. On the day we arrived access was ok, however it is in the grounds of the Bowhill Estate, which has an entry fee during the on season.
Tere is no access to the Castle buildings themselves.

We were able to drive to the castle easily and park nearby to fly the drone quite easily, and VLOS is easy to maintain in most directions, although watch out for the trees behind the Castle itself.

Although not in an FRZ do be aware that the area is used for low flying by the RAF, as evidenced by an extremely low pass by 2 Typhoon while we were at the castle.

Not to be confused with the footballer!!!
Looked after by Historic Environment Scotland, the mills were built on the banks of The River Tay in the 1780s before finally being closed in 1989. The nearby Stanley Village was built to house the workers. It's a great place to walk about with a handheld camera with loads of interesting stuff to keep the eyes and shutter button busy. A lot of the buildings now have been turned into private dwellings so please be mindful of privacy concerns. HES will try to stop TOAL from the land but there is an easy parking spot accross the river, I will add a marker for it. It is on farmland, but there is a public right of way all the way down so access here is not a problem. Just don't block the narrow path when parking as a lot of other people use it. At the marker furthest from river, turn into the farm, follow the track all the way down until you see the remains of Cambusmichael Church, this is where you park. Small gap in the trees 10 yards back the way will lead you down a steep banking, just follow the path, over two small bridges. When you see the Tay opening up, turn left. You can't miss it!!!

The Meikleour Beech Hedge is located near Meikleour, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It was planted in 1745 by Jean Mercer and her husband, Robert Murray Nairne on the Marquess of Lansdowne's Meikleour estate. It is said the hedge grows towards the heavens because the men who planted it were killed at the Battle of Culloden. The hedge is noted in the Guinness World Records as the tallest and longest hedge on earth, reaching 30 metres (98 feet) in height and 530 metres (1,740 feet) in length.

Old mill & lock along the river Kennet in Southcote Reading,
Very nice calm place a few dog walkers cyclists & joggers so do be mindful of that other than that all good,
Parking & TOAL is very easy, if the gate is closed for vehicles you can walk through another entrance it’s just a five minute walk to TOAL & location where you’ll see two bridges crossing you can cross the bridges to a meadow or there’s lots of open space anyway without having to even be on, or near the footpath etc, lovely surroundings the few people I see were no problem happy days, I would go back but more prepared as this was a spur of the moment.
Here’s a little history,
