Abergavenny - Added to Parks and Recreation in Wales

Where to fly your drone in the UK
1

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

2048×1364 1.07 MB

Land owner permission not required.

Abergavenny town.

River Usk with bridges, large green fields in valleys surrounded by several mountains (Sugar Loaf, Skirrid, Blorenge etc).
Town as a castle right next to launch point.

Suitable for A1 or A2 flight - huge grass meadow area with a very low density of people to launch and recover, Good VLOS in all directions.

No specific hazards.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 14/05/2022. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

The Skirrid Inn in Llanvihangel on the northern edge of town is excellent, the oldest pub in Wales and the most haunted building in the UK. Back in the day, they had the assize courts there, and hanged those found guilty (mostly sheep-stealers) on the spot over the wooden beams. You can see the grooves the ropes wore in the beams as the bodies swung, back and forth, see-saw magery daw, creak, creak…

Great fun with a beer in front of the fire, but I bet it’s a bit different on a stormy night when the moon is in and out of the clouds!
