Avoncliff Aquaduct - Added to Rivers and Canals 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/TOAL: 51.340025, -2.280921

There is a small car park just on the north side of the aquaduct, but it was full when I got there. So I parked on the lane leading up to the car park.

The only aquaduct in Britain to have it's own railway station. It is over 100 metres long and 18 metres wide, carries the Kennet & Avon Canal over the River Avon. It was built by the architect and engineer, John Rennie. The same chap who built Dundas Aquaduct just to the north.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 05/02/2023. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

A very interesting bit of history there.

Had my first day out with the Mrs here. 20 odd years ago…
