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

Tenterden Town station is the home of the Kent and East Sussex heritage steam railway. If you like steam trains the ride takes about 2 hours. I was there early so no risk of flying over uninvolved people but I guess it gets busy when the trains start at 10.00 a.m. The staff there were very friendly and helpful.

The twin headstocks and nearby disused mineral railway track are all that remains of an extensive coal mining enterprise carried on by Barber, Walker & Company, who first leased and then bought much of the parish of Brinsley from the Duke of Newcastle. They are a memento of both Brinsley’s mining heritage, and the literary heritage of DH Lawrence, whose father worked at the colliery. Many of Lawrence’s stories are based on this area and the people who lived and worked here.

AN AWESOME 17th CENTURY MOATED CASTLE HIDDEN IN A CHARMING STAFFORDSHIRE VILLAGE.

Caverswall Castle is a historic, Grade I listed building located in Staffordshire, England. Built in the early 17th century on the foundations of a 13th-century medieval castle, it features a unique blend of Jacobean architecture with medieval elements, like its moated design. The original castle was constructed in the 1200s, though it fell into ruin by the 17th century. In 1615, it was rebuilt by Matthew Cradock, a local wool merchant, who retained the medieval moat and incorporated modern architectural features of the time.

The castle's history is rich, having passed through various owners over the centuries. It was at different times used as a nunnery, a private home, and even a hotel. Its stunning architecture includes towers, battlements, and an impressive gatehouse, while the interior features grand rooms, paneling, and ornamental details that reflect its long and varied history.

In recent years, Caverswall Castle has attracted attention for being on the market multiple times, sometimes for potential restoration projects or commercial use. The castle's charm lies in its combination of medieval fortress-like features and later Jacobean elegance. Its picturesque setting includes landscaped gardens and the surrounding Staffordshire countryside, making it a remarkable example of England's architectural heritage.

I parked at the curbside just down the road. There are a lot of trees about so I took off from the Church adjacent to the Property. VLOS is possible with some careful planning!

I don't think you need to obtain permission from anyone to fly.
Parking is on Snake Road (Snake Pass Summit) on the A57.
It's a few miles to the crash site and weather can change so be prepared.
It can be a bit treacherous under foot to reach the site.

NOTE - I made a mistake with the take off and landing location.
We took off and landed at the crash site itself.
