St Michael Church added to Places of Worship in Yorkshire and the Humber by Kcscott on 26/03/2024

Nice little church situated off the A1136 with a large car park Infront of it which can be very busy at times. Only Obstruction to watch out for is trees around the church perimeter.

The oldest part of the Church is Early English, which is known since there is a pillar supporting the south aisle roof which is 13th century. The small Church was rebuilt in 14th-15th centuries, though an extension built in the early 1900’s made the church much bigger.
The Church was extended in 1912-1914 by the building of the north part of the church, including the tower, the newer nave and chancel. They were built out of a bequest by Joseph Chapman, a timber merchant who is buried in the graveyard. Sir Walter Tapper, a renowned church architect, built them in a 13th century style. Unusually, part of this extension made to the Church included a new nave situated next to the church building, alongside what was then the current nave. The newer nave was much longer than the previous one and results in the Church having a somewhat unusual shape, being rather wide on the south side. This addition of a longer nave adjacent to a smaller one, meant it was difficult when in the ancient nave to see the altar at the front of the newer nave. As a result, the space when you enter the Church from the south door which is the ancient nave is now used as a hall space; whereas the 1900’s extension is used today for worship.

National Indoor Athletics Centre [NIAC] - Cardiff, Cardiff (By stubbyd)

Not the most inspiring of images, but truth be told I was tired after being on my feet for the prior 8hrs shooting our annual martial arts tournament.

Also, the title is a little misleading as the 'indoor' part is all under that curved white/gey roof. What can be seen is 'Cardiff Met FC' (aka Cyncoed Stadium) and the outdoor tracks which, I'm told, also hosts the NIAC Junior Parkrun.

There is plenty of parking here, but it is at a cost and being private land I don't know their stance on TOAL. However, there is plenty of on-street parking and spots to TOAL and land from and I've marked one of each of these.

Bullers of Buchan (By AlbionDrones)

Stunning Sea cliffs, turquoise sea, amazing light, just had to be flown!

A short walk on a dirt path from the free car parking, no facilities, and some cliff edges to be careful around..

Lots of birds, hence ot flying through the arches, and keeping the drone higher. It is an SSSI, but we flew before the breeding season had properly started, and didnt upset any of the birds anyway...

St Lawrence’s Church, Mereworth, Tonbridge and Malling (By Venners07)

St Lawrence’s Church was built for the 7th Earl of Westmorland in 1744-46, probably to a design by Roger Morris, previously an assistant to Colen Campbell who had designed the neo-Palladian Mereworth Castle for Lord Westmorland twenty years before. It replaced a church, mediaeval with a low tower, next to the castle.

St Lawrence’s is unique among country parish churches, with one of the most remarkable neo-classical interiors in Europe, designed like a Roman basilica. All its surfaces are painted with trompe l’oeil classical designs, and organ pipes are depicted on the west wall above the gallery. The ornate tower and spire have close similarities with several significant town churches, notably James Gibbs’s baroque St Martin-in-the-Fields, London. The display of heraldic glass, contemporary with the church, is unique, and there are also some fine late 19th stained glass windows.

Mediaeval monuments from the earlier church were transferred here in 1744 and can be seen in the NW and SW corners of St Lawrence’s. There is a peal of six bells, rung every Sunday and at all other services.

Major repairs were made to the tower and spire and the interior paintwork was repaired and conserved in 2007-9. This work cost almost £1 million.

Hadlow Castle, Tonbridge and Malling (By Venners07)

Hadlow Castle, located in Kent, England, was an 18th-century Gothic-style country house largely demolished in the 20th century. Its most famous surviving feature is the Grade I Listed Hadlow Tower (or "May's Folly"), a 52-meter (170ft) tower restored in 2013. As of 2026, the tower, known as the tallest residential folly in the UK, has been listed for sale.

Built around 1838 by Walter Barton May, the tower was designed by George Ledwell Taylor with an octagonal design, often cited as a "Rapunzel-style" structure.

The main house was demolished in the mid-20th century. Following damage in the 1987 storm, the tower was later rescued, restored by the Vivat Trust in 2012–2013, and subsequently used as luxury accommodation.

The Tower was sold in 2020 for £1.23 million and by late 2025 was listed for sale again at a higher price, with its status as a public visitor site potentially changing. It offers stunning 360-degree views of the Kent countryside from the top, features a lift for access, and includes ornate Gothic architecture.

NOTE - this is a private residence so I advise keeping flying to a sensible distance from Tower.

TOAL is possible from a public footpath at the back of the castle. Very open with fields to the back, also good for a flight and some pretty pictures.

Gouthwaite Reservoir, Harrogate (By Osdog)

Tranquil area, good car park from which to launch and land. Be careful though as the Reservoir itself is an SSSI - so don't overfly it. Keep away from the water.
