I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
White Nothe ("White Nose") is a chalk headland on the English Channel coast at the eastern end of Ringstead Bay, east of Weymouth in Dorset,
Its distinctive flanks are the result of prehistoric landslides and the inaccessible slopes of the undercliff provide a secluded wildlife habitat. Looking along the coast from the TOAL point towards Bat’s Head was clear evidence of a recent landlside
Walking to the base of White Nothe along the shore from Ringstead Bay is possible, but it is cut off at high tide, so much care should be taken. At the top of the Smugglers path to the top of the headland is a protruding nose shape coming out of the white cliff, giving the name to the area.
The area is partly owned by the National Trust and the nearest car park is theirs (Ringstead Bay) which is a 25 minute walk to the location.
From the top of White Nothe, to the east, the chalk headland of Bat's Head can be viewed along with just the top part of Durdle Door.
Situated at the top of White Nothe is a World War II pillbox, constructed in 1940–41 of brick and concrete, as part of the anti-invasion measures. Unusually, the structure is also fitted with a Royal Observer Corps observation post built on top, which was to spot and report aircraft. There is also a row of former coastguards' cottages.
Great views and a great place to fly and photograph, but very windy on the day I visited as the headland is exposed
