Caen Hill Locks - 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 on site for just a donation of £1 all day, payable at the Cafe upon arrival.
Cafe serves hot and cold food as well as drinks.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 04/08/2020. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

Nice place isn’t it. :smiley:

I travelled up the locks on a boat yesterday - and got a few shots too. Noticed a couple of quite low aircraft later in the day. One was a tiny plane (bit bigger than a microlight) I wondered if it had just taken off from a field at the bottom of the locks, where there is a stripe mown across a field? The other was a military helicopter - which looked pretty low from the top of the hill. Probably best to keep a fair bit under the 120m.

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?
