I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
The Circus, originally called King's Circus, was designed by the architect John Wood and begun in 1754 and completed in 1768.
The Circus consists of three curved segments of Grade I listed townhouses, forming a circle with three entrances. When viewed from the air, the Circus, along with Queen Square and adjoining Gay Street, form a key shape, which is a masonic symbol similar to those that adorn many of the architect’s other buildings.
Engraved into the stonework you’ll see many emblems, such as serpents, acorns, and nautical symbols. Convinced that Bath had been the principal centre of Druid activity in Britain, Wood studied Stonehenge, and designed the Circus with the same diameter.
It is said that the Circus is joined to the Royal Crescent by a ley-line, and that their design represents the sun and the moon.
The Circus has been home to many famous people over the years. The artist Thomas Gainsborough between 1759 and 1774, and more recently, Hollywood actor Nicholas Cage also lived at The Circus.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 20/04/2025. 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.
