Benburb Castle, Priory and River Blackwater - Added to Castles and Fortifications in Northern Ireland

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

Land owner permission requirements unknown.

Parking is not a problem at the Priory. There are a cafe, toilets and museum and library. It is a short but steep walk down to the river. The castle is under state care so no flying within it. Down at the river there are a number of places to fly from. As this is a deep river valley that is well wooded satellite acquisition is a bit slow but 17 plus is possible. There is a lot of industrial heritage along the river to be explored.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 23/08/2023. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

Thanks for adding to the @group-northernirel region, Simon @TristantheDog :smiley:

I want to fly here @TristantheDog, but there are no parking or take off and landing markers. Would you be able to add some to the map please?

Hi Thanks for the message I’ve added the markers as you requested.
