Brougham Castle, Penrith - Added to Castles and Fortifications in North West

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:

4000×2250 1.88 MB

Land owner permission requirements unknown.

With this being a EH site I waited until after closing time and took off from a quiet country lane layby. Just be mindful of any walkers/traffic using the lane. That said, I was in the air for over 20mins and no one passed by. You can get some stunning shots of the castle and river nearby.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 11/04/2021. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

I flew there last Sunday. Still haven’t had a chance to download the files yet but will post a different perspective here when I do.

Promised an image from my morning at Brougham Castle. This was early morning just after sunrise. It’s a fantastic location!

I want to fly here, but there are no parking or take off and landing markers. Can anyone that has flown here or knows the area add some markers to the map please?

I’ve just added a new Take Off And Landing marker to this location @CSB73 :slightly_smiling_face:

Added a couple of markers, it’s fairly quiet around there if you go when the castle is closed.
