Great Witcombe Roman Villa - Added to English Heritage in South West

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

Land owner permission not required.

Parking at Coopers Hill, North West of the villa 51.831691, -2.157230.
Walked down Cotswolds Way about 1km to the villa.
TOAL 125m South of the villa outside of EH boundary, 51.825548, -2.147799.

The remains of this large and luxurious Roman villa lie in a peaceful setting near the Cotswold Way. Once at the heart of a large country estate, the villa was built about AD 250, and lived in until the 5th century. The remains include a bathhouse complex and perhaps the shrine of a water spirit. Mosaic pavements (preserved within a modern building) hint at the villa’s opulence in Roman times.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 12/03/2022. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
