I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene :
Land owner permission requirements unknown.
As one of the highest points in the West Midlands county, Barr Beacon has panoramic views. According to the Walsall Council website, visible landmarks include The Wrekin, Cannock Chase, the Lickey Hills, Lichfield Cathedral, Aldridge Airport, and Birmingham city centre, and at least eleven counties are visible, including Powys in Wales.
There is on site parking, recommend you check the website for opening times as varies depending on the time of year.
Towards evening the seating area and carpark can be full of rude boys with their modified 1 litre Corsas and Fiestas thinking they are bad ass with generally terrible music blaring. They generally don't bother you but if you're easily intimidated take this into account.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 25/03/2022. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
