I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Cinderbarrow is home to the Lancaster & Morecambe Model Engineering Society (LMMES) who were previously based in Steamtown Carnforth. The land is owned by Lancashire County Council and it’s a picnic area as well as the trains, sitting alongside the West Coast mainline. The site is open 24/7 but the train areas are fenced off.
LMMES have a website, https://lmmes.co.uk/, which is down at time of writing but they are active on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LMMES2018. Opening times are SUNDAYS and BANK HOLIDAYS 10.30-12.30 then 1.15 to 3.45 plus Thursdays during the school summer holidays, check their Facebook page before travelling if you want to ride the trains. They accept donations for rides.
On-site parking is free and if full, there’s space on parts of the lane that approaches the site.
No drink or food sold on site nor are there toilets but about a mile away on the A6 there’s a garage/Spar where I’ve always found the fuel to be cheaper than elsewhere.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 16/08/2025. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.
