I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Tardebigge Reservoir
and Tardebigge Locks (some of).
The reservoir itself is just within a flight restriction zone, but this is for a farm-based airfield called Stoney Lane, that I can’t find any contact details for.
That said, my take-off/landing area and flight were all outside of any restriction zone.
I had intended to try and capture just the locks, well some of them anyway as this is the longest flight of locks in the UK, so getting all of them in a single shot is nigh on impossible! But when I stuck my drone up, I realised the reservoir (also sometimes called Tardebigge lake) became my main point of interest.
Anyway, whether you fly or walk the locks, it was a lovely peaceful spot just on the outskirts of Bromsgrove. I've marked up where I parked but my mate, a local vicar, suggested the car park in Tardebigge village itself. This is also the location of the top lock in the flight.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 06/05/2026. 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.
