I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Dodington Park is a country house and estate in Dodington, South Gloucestershire. The house was built between 1796 and 1816 by James Wyatt for Christopher Bethell Codrington (of the Codrington baronets). The family had made their fortune from sugar plantations in the Caribbean and were significant owners of slaves. It remained in the Codrington family until 1980; it is now owned by the British businessman James Dyson who snapped it up in 2003 for £15m
The estate comprises some 300 acres (120 ha) of landscaped park with woods, lakes, lodges, a dower house, an orangery, a church, and a walled kitchen garden. Formal gardens adjoin the main house. The house is Grade I listed on the National Heritage List for England and the landscaped park is Grade II listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. The dower house, orangery, and St Mary's Church which all adjoin the house are also each individually Grade I listed, as is the Bath lodge at the southern part of the estate
With 4,840 sq yds to an acre, the wider estate has 1,452,000 sq yds of space – according to the Daily Express newspaper, you could fit 17,900 normal homes into that…
Parking was in a layby just outside the boundary wall, TOAL was from the Cotswold Way footpath that runs through the grounds
