Woolstonbury Hill - Added to National Trust in South East

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

Land owner permission requirements unknown.

TOAL was situated just south of the National trust boundary. Near to six ways.

Extract from The National Trust Website:-

Wolstonbury Hill is the ‘jewel in the crown’ when it comes to wild orchid spotting on the Devil’s Dyke Estate and it is the only place in Sussex where you are likely to see the man orchid.

Many other chalk downland flowers and butterflies can be seen here in the summer too and Wolstonbury is also home to the highest concentration of anthills on the South Downs. The strange humps that pepper the hill each house around 100,000 ants and can be seen all year round.

There is history here too in the form of a Bronze Age camp, cross dykes, sunken trackways and the scars of a 20th century rifle range.

The South Downs Way, which passes nearby, is popular with walkers, cyclists and horse-riders. There are a number of bridle paths crossing the hill and these offer challenging climbs and routes leading to Hurstpierpoint, Clayton and Hassocks.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 09/04/2022. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
