Whatley Quarry, Frome - Added to Everything Else in South West

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

Land owner permission requirements unknown.

This place has absolutely breath taking views, situated in Frome, TOAL & parking is an absolute walk in the park.

Where I’ve placed the marker, park there at the end, (if you’re driving) then to your left is an entrance to a bridal way & a small piece of woodland, you walk up through the woods & to your left it opens up to a set of about a dozen shallow steps & you have perfect 180 views at the top, it is fenced off & very safe.

Directions, head to Frome to a place called Mells, you look for a road called Knaptons Hill, do a left onto Holes lane where a few yards down the road you see a cross road with an old red telephone box there, do a left at the junction opposite the red phone box (can’t find a name of the road) single track road you will go along which comes to a dead end which is fine to park, easy to turn around too.

It was completely deserted when I was there but a breath of fresh air, I can imagine it may get people, and dog walkers in & around at times so be mindful of that, but myself & my friend who is from that area, she said it is always very quiet & many many places in the area alike, worth a visit any day !

Stunning place.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 10/01/2024. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
