Site Examples
When challenged on the legality of your flight, it is useful to be able to give examples of the type of sites listed in the Drone Code.
This is not a comprehensive list but offers everyday examples to demonstrate where you can fly with your sub 250g, UK0, UK1, C0 or C1 marked drone.
Airspace
Even if you can legally fly at these locations, always check The Drone Map for flight restrictions, NOTAMS and controlled airspace before flying at any of these sites.
