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

Stockingfield bridge was built recently to enable cyclists and pedestrians to be able to move from the Glasgow branch to the main branch without leaving the canal and crossing busy roads.
The striking design of the bridge is a far cry from the initial proposal which was to have a male figure designed by Andy Scott (Kelpies) holding up the bridge. This design was later simplified to to the current design.

Permission for non-commercial flights is not required. Scottish Canals request that lock chambers, people and boats are not over flown.

Cockersand Abbey is a ruined 12th-century Premonstratensian monastery on a headland overlooking the estuary of the River Lune south of Heysham. The abbey was founded in 1180 as a simple hermitage but was raised to the status of a fully-fledged abbey 10 years later in AD 1190. Parking in small layby nearby:

On the south edge of the Morecambe Bay near Glasson Dock, at the mouth of the river Lune sits a modest but beautiful Plover Scar Lighthouse. Built in 1847 it has seen better days but still makes an enjoyable visit it and is the subject of many photos. Parking in small layby nearby: WTW: ///bind.soonest.froth

Lovely park area with a very scenic Viaduct with dual rails going across. There is a large field on the side I took the photo from. There is no access to this field nearby. I took off on the car park near by the arches of the bridge. Please note this is within a FRZ of Cardiff Airport. Applied at https://nsf.nats.aero pretty easily and had confirmation the following day. Once on-site you call Cardiff ATC for permission to take off. They'll ask you to confirm how long you plan on flying for, you'll agree to terms over the phone and they give any required warnings. You call them once you are finished. This was my first time applying to fly in a FRZ and it was very simple.

I thought long and hard before adding this as a location as it is well off the beaten track and it will take some effort to get to, but you will be well rewarded by the absolutely stunning scenery. It is possible to hike to the falls but it's easier on a bike - last year I used an ordinary mountain bike (7hrs) but this year on an eBike the round trip took around 3 and a half hours (including half an hour for snack/photos/droning at the falls. The closest parking is at the Bridge of Tilt car park in Blair Atholl, which is also the nearest point for shops/food/toilets. Midge repellent is also useful!

You can take a walk up from the House of Bruar just off the A9, or there is a small lay-by in the hamlet of Calvine for a much shorter walk, though the lay-by is often occupied by the speed camera van. Follow the road down under the railway bridge and there is a marked footpath for 'Struan Old Kirk'. The path takes you down along past the River Garry waterfalls, across a field and over to the old church. You can either retrace your path to return, or continue on up the road by the church to make a loop. Nearest food/drink/toilets are at the House of Bruar.

The Long Man of Wilmington is an impressive artwork from the middle ages drawn on the side of the South Downs. This particular location is a driveway for a large farm gate, allowing you to park and take off in full view of the Long Man, making it easy to keep in visual line of site. Be aware that another car may pull up and park near you; this is on a quiet country lane but passing traffic will also occur. This spot is more than 150 m from residential buildings so it may be better for larger model drones. There is also a full car park around 200 metres away shown on TOAL.

Amazing views over the Minch to the Outer Hebrides - when clear - and stunning coastal scenery of Waternish and Dunvegan peninsulas.

Park in the Trumpan Church Car Park and use the fenced-off area with picnic benches for TOAL, check with anyone else present that they are ok with you flying - it is quite remote, but there were people there on both occasions we visited, none had any issue with the drone flying...

Watch out for the MIDGES! They are fierce and have big sharp pointy teeth, either invest in some SMIDGE (other midge repellants are available) or take a sacrificial tasty snack for them, in my case the husband worked well, they seem to like him and will happily go and chase him, leaving me free to fly...
