Pelsall Junction, North Common Canal - Added to Rivers and Canals in Walsall, West Midlands

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Pelsall Junction is a historic canal intersection in the West Midlands (grid reference SK018044) where the Cannock Extension Canal branches off the main line of the Wyrley and Essington Canal. Known for its Grade II listed footbridge (the "Red Iron"), the junction serves as a key, tranquil access point for boaters, walkers, and nature lovers exploring the Birmingham Canal Navigations
(description from wikipedia).

I have flown here a couple of times but you have to be mindful of the SSSi that is nearby, but also it is a popular spot for fishing.

Parking: there is no direct parking but there is a carpark at the Finger Post pub but I decided not to park there and parks on a public side street nearby and walked the short distance to the spot

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 24/04/2025. 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.
