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."

Billingford Mill, South Norfolk (By Kevin_Fairgrieve)

Parking is very limited at the mill but the nearby pub has plenty.. The mill is generally not open, so pick your day and go.

This windmill was built to replace a post mill that was blown over and destroyed in 1859. The new mill was run using wind power between 1860 and 1956. It was the last commercial windmill in Norfolk. It continued to work using an engine until 1959.

The mill has five storeys, a Norfolk boat-shaped cap, four patent sails and a six-bladed fantail which ensures the cap always faces into the wind. Most of the original machinery is intact, including two sets of stones, the great spur wheel, sack hoist, tentering gear and governors.

It was the first mill to be acquired by Norfolk County Council for preservation by Norfolk Windmills Trust in 1965. It is a Grade II* listed building. The mill was restored by the Suffolk Millwright, Tim Whiting and his team, between 2017 and 2021.

The mill stands on Billingford Common, a County Wildlife Site. Tours of the mill are available on open days and by appointment.

A fantastic and unique place steeped in history. So much of our heritage is sadly being left to just rot away.

Dunraven Bay, Vale of Glamorgan (By Victoria_Graholska)

Dunraven Bay (Southerndown Beach), is a scenic beach in South Wales featuring a sandy shore, rich fossil-hunting rock pools, and historic walled gardens.

It's a beautiful place to spend entire day there walking, enjoying the views, have a picnic and for any water activities.

Flying drone is a sheer joy as it reveals breathtaking views of the cliffs, which were formed in the various historic times and are so unique.

Walled gardens add a special character to the place.

There is a parking for which you will be asked to pay £5 in cash, ample parking further up the hills, toilets and accessible toilets were open and well maintained.

Snack Shop was closed so can't comment on that. It's about 20 minute walk towards Ogmore Beach where you will find nice place to eat called West Farm Southerndown Coastal Retreat.

Thoroughly enjoyed this location!

Ogmore-by-Sea, Vale of Glamorgan (By Victoria_Graholska)

Beautiful spot for flying and after a long research to make sure it's safe and legal I have decided to give it a go. There is so much more to see in this location including walking all the way up to the Ogmore Castle - and we went there before just without a drone and in another direction you will find a Dunraven Bay with a castle (or a footprint of the castle) I'm not too sure as we didn't get past the parking gate due to only cash accepted.
Parking is available and the earlier you arrive the better
