Heres a short film I made visiting Solomons Temple in Buxton. The walk starts from the car park for Poole’s Cavern. It’s an easy walk up through the woods to the summit, briefing stopping to admire all the intricate woodland carvings that are dotted along the paths.
Solomon’s Temple, also known as Grinlow Tower, is a Victorian folly on the summit of Grin Low hill, near the spa town of Buxton. The structure is a 6.1m in height and built on top of a Bronze Age barrow. From the open top of the tower there are beautiful 360-degree views over the town and the surrounding countryside.
Grin Low, was the main location for the early Buxton lime industry. The large, oddly shaped mounds, are remains of over 100 large ‘pudding’ lime kilns, built of earth and rock. They date back to the 17th–19th centuries, as well as spoil heaps of waste material from these times. Solomon’s Temple was built in 1896 takes its name from Solomon Mycock, who rented the land in the early 1800s.
Thanks bmsleight. I used my smartphone to film the static ground shots and then used keying framing during the edit to add some subtle movement to the shot.
Thanks Eyeinthesky1, appreciate your comments. Quite a popular spot, so suggest going early or during the week. Poole’s Cavern is located there too, along with GoApe, so plenty to see and do.
If you click on the categories tab in the main menu there`s a topic dedicated to “Video and Photo Editing”. This would be the best place to seek advice. I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio which I paid about £60 for, a few years back.
I believe DaVinci Resolve is very good and best of all it`s free.

Hello Eyeinthesky1, I try to go as early as possible when filming to avoid the crowds. Even so, with it being a weekend there were quite a lot of people about. Have to patient and wait to get the shot. Got chatting to quite a few people who were interested in the capabilities of the drone. No hassles.
