I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Land owner permission requirements unknown.
The lock at Allington has been recently refurbished. Good coffee shop on the Island. The marina and Allington Castle are also worth a visit near by.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 25/02/2024. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

I want to fly here @grandad1950, have you got any other tips or advice?
Lee_Clark I parked in the car park up the road from the castle and walked down to the lock ( about 10 minutes). lots of places to TOAL , good coffee in the shop and a pleasant walk along the River. The castle was shut when I was there but I am told it is worth a visit. There was a security gate on the marina so no direct access, but your drone should give you a view. Fun watching people going through the lock in the summer I expect

Had a nice afternoon here. Point to note - parking in lock car park costs £5 but that is for all day
