TOAL was on the English side of the bridge. I parked on the Welsh side … and walked to England and back!
Chepstow Bridge is the World's largest iron arch road bridge from the first 50 years (1780-1830) of iron and steel construction. The bridge was first opened on the 24th July 1816, and is an architectural marvel and feat of engineering that has stood the test of time.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 03/01/2022. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
Definitely on my list; there’s plenty to film in Chepstow, this, the cliffs, the castle, and possibly a walk out on to the M48 bridge (flying from the footpath is risky, but should be possible with care. Not a place where mistakes will go unpunished, though!). Did this on a flat calm and warm summer evening about 10 years ago, long before I had a drone, an amazing viewpoint but I wouldn’t be so keen in a bit of wind!!!
