Feedback from English Heritage.

  • Great news that you would like to come back
  • Bishops Waltham would be a similar arrangement as would most of our Free to Enter sites.
  • Paid sites would be more difficult trying to navigate multiple drones around paying visitors, and some sites are in close proximity to military bases which would also prove challenging so always best to check with us first!
  • flag you had up was weighted and not staked to ground.
  • Also a polite notice to please ensure all pilots have their eyes on drones all the times and refrain from flying too close to ruins so as to keep our conservation team happy

We have not burnt any bridges, but at £30 we are paying a lot. (Plus op ids, flyer ids, insurance)

Would be next year - I think. It looks like a fun site, trying to nudge EH into bigger and better sites, Heck even a ‘paid’ site. Any bando in a nice plain open space with power loops options ?

Can they enforce this from Public ?

English Heritage does not permit drone flying from or over sites in our care, except by contractors or partners undertaking flights for a specific purpose, who satisfy stringent CAA criteria, have the correct insurances and permissions, and are operating under controlled conditions.

Yes.

No.

@JetRex I’ve moved your post to an existing thread on this subject as it’s been discussed countless times over the years.

Bottom line:

Just a reminder, as been said many times before - don’t be a dick.

You can take off from outside an English Heritage or National Trust site and you can overfly it. A drone at an altitude of 300 to 400 feet won’t attract too much attention if any. A drone at 25 feet is a major annoyance.

Don’t be a dick.
