Planning a job in Thornbury
Thornbury Castle, begun in 1511 by the Duke of Buckingham, is now a Grade I listed hotel and wedding venue beside St Mary’s Church, and from the air its Tudor brick chimneys can be framed with the church and the fields beyond. Period houses along the High Street and Castle Street can be shown in their setting for sales.
The town has grown to the north and east, with housing at Park Farm off Butt Lane and at Morton Way, where repeat flights from the same spots can track each phase. Westwards, the flat Severn Vale runs to Oldbury-on-Severn and the estuary shore, giving wide views for farm and land imagery, though the nuclear restricted area at Oldbury limits flying near that coast.
Flying in Thornbury
Thornbury sits outside airport Flight Restriction Zones, but the former Oldbury nuclear power station has a restricted area reaching 2 nautical miles from the plant, with a 2,000 foot ceiling, and its edge lies only about a mile north-west of the town centre. Northern and western sites are plotted against it before quoting. HMP Eastwood Park near Falfield has a 400 metre drone exclusion zone. Launching from a park, playing field or garden needs its owner’s go-ahead.
