Melton Bottom Quarry - Added to Everything Else in Yorkshire and the Humber

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

Land owner permission requirements unknown.

Melton Bottom Quarry is just to the north east of Welton. Owned by OMYA it extracts and processes chalk for a variety of applications. The Yorkshire Wolds public right of way lies just to the southern edge of the quarry, next to a wooded area and open fields. Be aware, that blasting in the quarry can occur anytime during Mondays-Fridays, and the Wolds way can be busy with walkers (and their dogs).

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 04/09/2021. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
