Great place to visit and finally, 'to fly'. Brought up here, worked here as an Ice Cream Van Man on the beaches in the late 80's. So great to get back with the drones.

St Catherines Island and Fort is situated on the award-winning Castle Beach, just off Tenby harbour. It has a very exciting history, including 13th Century chapel, Victorian Fort, Palatial home, Wartime garrison, Zoo, Movie location and now visitors attraction.

St Catherines Island and Fort have tour guides that will help you during your visit, to provide you with as much information as you can take in, as well as a full slide show on the history of the Island. The views and wildlife on the Island is spectacular, including rare plants, a nesting family of Choughs, several daily visits from our local Peregrine Falcon family and even an Island Fox. The Island is a designated 'Site Of Special Scientific Interest' and the Fort is a 'Grade 2 star' listed property.

Tilehurst Water Tower (By apreading)

Erected in 1932, Tilehurst Water Tower, is an iconic landmark on the ridge line in Tilehurst, a district in the Western part of Reading. People from Reading know they are near home when they are coming along the M4 from the West and they can see the top of the tower, several miles before they get to Junction 12.

In November 2018 the tower was illuminated in poppy red to mark 100 years since the end of the First World War. The tower remained illuminated, and visible at night from a wide area, until Remembrance Day on 11 November.

It still fulfils its function as a water tower today, and at the top it also houses a number of telephone masts and receivers and also the transmitter for Greatest Hits Radio Berkshire & North Hampshire, a local radio station.

The tower holds a huge 900,000 litres of water, in two 4.5 metre deep tanks and provides around 10 per cent all the water used in Reading, serving 12,000 homes and businesses.
