St Andrew, Didling, West Sussex added to Places of Worship in South East by macspite on 06/09/2020

The church stands isolated, surrounded by agricultural land. Visible in the satellite image for this entry is the public footpath leading south from the church to the Wooded and steep slopes of the South Downs. As sheep are often in the fields dogs must be on leads.

Parking is in the lane leading to the church. There are few spaces for tuning, be prepared to reverse a reasonable distance.

The roads leading through the villages and countryside toward the church are narrow and also have great views. This is a location to enjoy at leisure. It is well worth spending a little time in the simple church itself, places of worship rarelt get plainer or more simple.


From wealdanddownlandchurches.co.uk

"St Andrew, Didling is known as ‘ the shepherds’ church’ because of its location on the northern slope of Didling Hill, close to the ancient drovers’ track across the South Downs. The current building dates largely from the early 13th century, although there are indications of an earlier church on the site.

St Andrew’s was constructed with flint walls, which are part rendered and white painted. There is a small west turret which houses one bell dated 1587. A ‘modern’ timber porch has been added to the north side.

There is no division between the nave and chancel at St Andrew’s, but the north wall of the church returns in at the end of the nave. Externally the quoin of this return looks like Saxon long and short work, but realistically this would be reuse of salvaged masonry. The south church wall continues in a straight line through nave and chancel The two south chancel windows have ogee heads which suggests that this wall was rebuilt in the 14th century. The east and north chancel walls both have two 13th century lancets.
The oak pew ends are original 15th century, but the seats and backs are modern replacements.
The altar rails and the pulpit are 17th century Jacobean.
The oldest item at the church is the Saxon font, which could have been retained from an earlier building on the site, or perhaps brought in from elsewhere. It was hand hewn from a single block of Bracklesham stone, and is thought to be on of the oldest fonts in the country."

The Fairy Bridge, Skye (By AlbionDrones)

There is nothing particularly impressive about the structure itself, but it has a good amount of folklore attached to it, linked mainly with the Fairy Flag of Dunvegan Castle...

Nice small free car park next to the bridge, and good access to fly under and over, and along the wee burn for a 100 m in either direction...

Blackhills Waterfall - Eas a' Bhradain (By AlbionDrones)

A wet and blustery final day on Skye, afforded us a brief window in the weather to make a short flight at the changeable Blackhills Waterfall...

The falls are just off the main road - take care crossing the road if you wish to talk to them - and almost opposite a parking space - which gets busy!

Not huge, but good if it has been raining...

Two Barroes, Exmoor (By Howard)

Two Barrows is a site on the West Somerset / North Devon border that contains a number of Bronze Age burial mounds. Only one barrow is prominent today, though the official record assigns four barrows to the location. The site itself is part of a larger 'Principal Archaeological Landscape: Setta Barrow, Five Barrows and Two Barrows complex' (no 8 in the Exmoor list of these PALs).

Sinfin Moor Park, Derby (By D0c.Col)

The Park has a wide open space with plenty of parking. The whole area consists of 34 hectares including a playing field with 6 football pitches and 2 cricket pitches, a BMX track and a play area with a range of equipment for children of all ages. The nature conservation area has more than a hundred species of wildflowers and its ponds, meadows, woodland and hedgerows provide habitats for a variety of birds, invertebrates, amphibians and mammals. All these are well away from the park playing area so should not have any issues flying there.

The Friends of the Park volunteers run a community café at the Pavilion, as well as other activities for the community and to help wildlife.

@JockyB organised an East Midlands Meetup there in 2024 and eberyone had a great time.

Faversham Quay and Creek (By grandad1950)

Interesting place to visit with a few bars, shops and creek side walks. Houseboats, barges and sailing boats moored along the quay. Not a lot of parking but but town centre parking just 5 minutes away. It could get busy later in the day.

One word of warning, the seagulls were a real pain.
