Chantry Chapel and Bridge, Wakefield, Wakefield (By richrab)

The Chantry Chapel of St Mary the Virgin is a chantry chapel in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England, and is designated a Grade I Listed building by Historic England. It is located south of the city centre on the medieval Chantry Bridge over the River Calder.

Brecon Canal Basin Towpath, Powys (By stubbyd)

There is plenty of parking around here so I haven't bothered with a market for that, but be aware most of it is paid for.

I have set my TOAL point as the towpath as that is where I was, but there is a nearby open field which is mostly empty whenever I visit. But depending on time of day and time of year you may need to juggle the precise where.

Armoy Round Tower (By UladhLad)

The Round Tower at the site dates from the 11th Century, and historical and archaeological evidence indicates an ecclesiastical site has been here since at least the 6th century. The modern Church of Ireland was built in 1820.

The location is very peaceful. I would recommend avoiding times when the church or cemetery are in use, out of respect for the people there.

I visited on Wednesday 13th August evening, around 8.20 pm, and despite it being a warm, sunny summer's evening, I didn't see a single person anywhere near the church or cemetery in the 20 minutes I was there.

Saint Davids Cathedral, Pembrokeshire (By t0mroche)

Fantastic building in a quaint Pembrokeshire town. Flew just as it was closing for the day so not many people around, but those that were didn’t bother me.

TOAL: There is a tower like structure up on the hill by the steps down to the cathedral which you can walk around the base of into the corner just above the graveyard. I went round here so as not to bother anybody. Didn’t see any signage deterring drone flights.

Giant Axe Field, Lancaster, Lancaster (By Crackerjack)

Giant Axe is a council owned field (Lancaster policy - follow the drone code) which is also home to Lancaster Football Club.
There are other Places to Fly logged around the area but Giant Axe is the other side of the railway line from where you can get 3 major landmarks on one horizon - Castle, Priory and Williamson Memorial in the distance.
Across the road from Giant Axe is Westfield Memorial Village (Storey Lane). This is a private residential area for ex-military personnel and their families. Beautifully maintained, only accessible by the one entrance.

Excuse the poor quality example photos, my Atom 2 frequently disconnects (new cable en-route) and today's flights were to check if it was any better (it wasn't).

Freeman's Wood, Lancaster, Lancaster (By Crackerjack)

Lancaster City Council don't have their own drone policy but say to follow the drone code.

Freeman's Wood is an old part of Lancaster looked after by the friends of Freeman's Wood. Lots of trees, a small pool and open park areas.

There's parking anywhere along Willow Lane and riverside road.

The park next to the first parking link can be used for TOAL or the central part of Freeman's Wood around where there's a small bench.

The Round Tower, Portsmouth (By Tsebsietxis)

The Round Tower is a fortification at the entrance to Portsmouth harbour. It is a Grade I listed building.

The site was originally occupied by a wooden tower before being replaced by a stone one.

In the 1680s a line of ramparts was added that connected the tower to the square tower. The upper section was later rebuilt during the Napoleonic wars. Between 1847 and 1850 the roof of the tower was modified to serve as a gun platform.

Portsmouth city council purchased the tower in 1958.
