Fernycombe Beach - Added to Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in South West

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission requirements unknown.

Parking up in Kingstown recreational ground, then either a 2-mile walk via Wonwell Beach or a slightly shorter walk through the permissive path through a national trust owned farm (not currently on any maps). Another option is to Kayak/SUP out to the crown owned beach

Crown foreshore starts at the same point as the national trust land. Land further to the west is part of the Erme Estate and privately owned, but the SW coast path runs along the entire extent, so depending on exactly where you TOAL and your UAS weight it's possible. Path is very quiet on weekdays and evenings.

Take extra care to avoid disturbing wildlife in the area as parts of the Erme are SSSI

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 29/05/2022. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
