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

Sturminster Newton Mill is still in good working order, the present mill dates from the mid16th century with considerable mechanical renovation in the early 20th century, although there has been a mill on this site for over 1000 years.

The car park was empty when I arrived, however there is plenty of parking on the road. Take off anywhere along the pathway next to the river.

The River Coe Gorge is a narrow river gorge running from the waterfall down alongside the main road - A82. It is filled with obstacles, trees, branches, rocks, and waterfalls and rapids, yet it makes an amazing place to fly FPV in a cinematic way.

Park in the layby and walk to the viewing platform, keep to the right and you will have a good view of the gorge entrance, your spotter needs to be nearby too.

If the drone loses connection you may find yourself having to take a swim to recover it as overhanging rock faces and trees will make it difficult for it to autoreturn. I flew about 300m down the gorge, using my AVATA and Goggles2 with the MC, at 300m I had 2 bars of transmission, so turned back at that point.

Be prepared to lose your drone if you attempt this amazing location...

The stunning Ashness Bridge, tight underneath but flyable - one person did it with a MINI3 Pro!

Car Parking 50m away, paths are uneven and rocky so take care and a stick may be useful. Watch out for sensor errors over the moving water...

Car Park ticket is also valid for the Surprise view, about 400m away...

Go early to avoid some of the tourists...

The third location flown on the Drone Show Live Viewers Lakes road trip, just up the road from Ashness Bridge, the wonderful Surprise view.

Car Parking on site, and a very short walk - the car park at Ashness Bridge 300m away is on the same parking ticket, so you pay once to park at both locations,,

The drop is steep so do take care, there are no barriers!

Shaw house west Berkshire Newbury,
Elizabethan Mansion built in 1851, now serves other purposes which I shall attach link / history, I went here on a Saturday evening just before sunset & sat outside before I got the drone up just staring at the buildings character & surroundings, TOAL is easy & building was closed when visited,
I know this area very well & is lovely on a nice day, there is a church to the left & a further few hundred yards to the left is a leisure centre, was very quiet & peaceful but I do know it can get busy in & around with public, dog walkers etc, when your facing the building a couple of hundred yards behind you is an opening which takes you in to some woodland / park that runs alongside the A34, there are benches in there for seating & a couple of people just chilling out, gorgeous surroundings well worth a visit & there's plenty of parking spaces as well.

Dunsinane/Dunsinnan is the site of a battle in 1054 where the Earl of Northumbria defeated Macbeth of Scotland. The earlier Iron Age hill fort in the picture has long been known as Macbeth’s Castle and was made famous in the Shakesperean play. Most people pronounce it incorrectly as DunsinANE, it was changed by Shakespeare to make it rhyme in:
“I will not be afraid of death and bane, Till Birnam forest come to Dunsinane”

I have added a marker for a small parking spot. It's a really popular walking spot and is quite often full. The walk, although short, is pretty steep in places so be prepared for a wee workout. The views at the top though are worth the effort.

It’s correct pronunciation is Dunsinnan, which in Gaelic means Hill of Ants.

A cascading Beck in Honister Pass, complete with stunning views, waterfalls and bridges to fly under - deceptively long - fun of the first order...

Park in the parking spot near the large boulder, just after the bridge, then you can fly to your hearts content... Fly downstream and up for a reveal of Butermere, or the other way up the Pass to see the distant slate mines...
