The Kymin, Monmouthshire - Added to Historic Buildings in Wales

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

Land owner permission not required.

Parking & TOAL: 51.808975, -2.687826

This is a National Trust site, as such, I parked and TOAL'd from just outside the boundary, which was just below but in sight of the Round House. Freezing low cloud and temps were around -3c.

There is a Round House which can be rented for a short stay and is very picturesque. About 100 ft to the south is a temple, dedicated to all the victorious captains of the sea battles prior to its construction in 1800. The temple has all the names of well known captains and admirals on all sides.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 02/12/2023. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

Just read that in a Welsh accent (if you know what I mean), sounds like the cat wasn’t the only that had gone a bit scatty…
