Hi, I live in Crawley West Sussex and looking for good places of interest to legally fly?
Finding quite a few areas that would be great but notices up banning the use of them at the site and/or online.
I got my first Drone for Christmas the DJI Neo and love it, managed to find a playing field near me and an area in East Grinstead to practise flying my Drone, also was able to fly it in a couple of places in Cape Town area South Africa. Just would like to find interesting areas near me to practice as well as get good footage.
Any help/tips greatly appreciatted!

Hi Greg
Welcome to Dronehub!
I’ve flown drones, and model aircraft, lots of times in Stanmer Park in Brighton. (North of Brighton, technically I suppose).
Its so big that you can find a spot well away from anyone, if you want to.
I’ve done drone demos for the Police, been interviewed for German TV, been interviewed for ITV News, and for IB Times, prepared a waypoint mission for the Gadget Show, done a showcase of the ‘new’ Inspire 1 for potential customers, done promotional videos, taken suppliers from China to demo their new drones to me, done freestyle FPV drone flying with a group, and trained people to fly drones in that park - over the last 15 years. It is a good spot!
All the best

Hi Simon,
Thanks you so much for the info that is so helpful, I will definitely look to visit Stanmer Park and see how I get on, may even bump into you there. You have definately had some great opportunities with demos, ITV News and other TV channels Video promotions. I hope to meet some good people there.
I visitied Blunts Wood in Haywards Heath, it’s fairly quiet there so was able to have good practice flying the drone doing manoeuvres, couldn’t go too high as wind a bit too strong for the drone but still made good valuable practice time.
Many Thanks & All The Best
Greg
