I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Land owner permission requirements unknown.
I have been to this location about 5 times now and often there is no one around at all… occasionally there are fishermen on the canal… but mostly not. This is an unusual place on a canal… there are two towers linking a footbridge over the canal and even a moveable bridge for the farmer to cross into his field. there are some wetlands not too far away to fly to to explore and also a canal boat chandlers facility
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 13/04/2022. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

I’ve flown here too @Grazuncle 
You gotta be really careful with the trees here!!
The wetlands is part of the RSPB site, so I wouldn’t recommend flying there personally, but it’s a nice walk and often lots of Herons/Bitterns and some other rare sightings. Well worth a walk round.

Trees… Ain’t that the truth!
Regarding the wetlands im very high there and I’d lose sight if low or much further than the edge. I tend to go in the direction of the chandler’s… Following the canal snaking. Still praticing.
I notice there are a few other places not far from there, in dronescene.

Not overly far from here myself - been meaning to fly around here myself - nice one
@firstadekit shows some limited parking in one of his pics but i have always managed to park there👍🏼
There are no parking or take off and landing markers on the map at this location. Could you add some useful markers to the map please @DaveLin39 ?
Yes I’ll go on a bit later with some more information

I can’t see how to edit the original.. However I took a screenshot from Google Earth..
The Red marker is the limited off road parking.. have seen up to four cars parked there but often not any at all whilst being there for 40 minutes!.. You can try parking up the lane opposite the Red marker though I have not found any need yet.. (I fly midweek and in the day when no holidays etc) I take off from the bridge with two white towers.. if you go up vertically and land the same way you are clear enough from branches.
