I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at [Drone Scene](https://dronescene.co.uk/where-to-fly-drone/nantgwyllt-church/wales/4035): ![20250519162949_DJI_20250519093753_0112_D_HDR_Pano_Edit](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/c/1/c11f213a614bda7a48e362c9ae1f47135e7c64e3.jpeg) > **[Nantgwyllt Church, Powys](https://dronescene.co.uk/where-to-fly-drone/nantgwyllt-church/wales/4035)** > > This location has been recommended to fly your drone in the Places of Worship category in the Wales region. In 1893 the City of Birmingham launched an ambitious scheme to supply fresh drinking water for its growing population. The plan entailed the creation of a reservoir system 75 miles away in the Elan Valley of northern Wales, just west of Rhayader, flooding some 18 dwellings, scattered farms, a church, chapel, and schoolhouse at Nantgwyllt. The old church, along with the manor house and nearby cottages, were swallowed up by the waters and lost forever when Caban Coch dam was built, but in 1898 a new church was begun on high ground overlooking the Garreg-ddu viaduct. The church was more than a practical replacement for the lost medieval church - it was carefully sited to achieve maximum aesthetic impact, aligning with the viaduct and the Foel valve tower at the north end of the viaduct to create a picturesque scene. It’s a nice site to visit, with great views from the ground and from a drone _The originator declared that this location was **not** inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 19/05/2025. 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._ ---

Hi gasbag43, Did you go inside the church? If you didn’t, and for anyone interested in this piece of history, I made a 180 x 360 panorama of the interior a few years ago that can be viewed on Kuula. ([Nantgwyllt Church, Elan valley, Powys](https://kuula.co/edit/hbvh1/collection/71JC0)). The church is still in use and up until recently it was completely surrounded by a mature conifer plantation that has since been felled making it a more prominent feature. ---

Hi Milkmanchris, I didn’t want viewers to leave the GA site but didn’t/don’t know how to do otherwise. How did you derive the code that could be embedded in a GA post? The URL I gave was that created by Kuula but is not the same as that that was used by you in your email I received. Anyway, thanks for doing it - much better. ---

Thanks for that OzoneVibe. It was the iframe stuff that I missed and just copied the URL. I’ll know what to do next time, if there is a next time. ---
