Skipsea Castle - Added to Castles and Fortifications in East Riding of Yorkshire, Yorkshire and the Humber

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

Skipsea Castle was a Norman motte and bailey castle near the village of Skipsea, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Built around 1086.
The site is void of all structures but the various mounds, and other earthwork fortifications remain.
The site is owned by English Heritage but is unmanned.
English Heritage forbid! TOAL from their sites so this was done from the roadside, where parking is limited but the traffic levels were light.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 08/04/2026. 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.
