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

Land owner permission requirements unknown.

I parked in Chirk Bank next to the canal and walked to the public footpath with views of the Aqueduct and Viaduct a short walk away. The footpath crosses a large field which unlike the aqueduct was nice and quiet.

Where I took off from is in England and both viaduct and aqueduct are half and half in Wales and England. Or to be precise the field I took off from and where the picture was taken are in Shropshire England. Shropshire is in the West Midlands…

It is right on the border and who knows why the border did this and didn’t continue to follow the river…
