Drones

The use of drones isn't permitted at Elvaston Castle Country Park.

If operated irresponsibly, drones can pose a physical danger to members of the public enjoying the park as well as a potential invasion of privacy.

There are clear boundaries and rules available for pilots to operate their drones. The rules governing hobbyist and commercial pilots are similar although there are some important differences for a commercial operator.

Hobbyists must follow the regulations set out in the Air Navigation Order (CAP393) and it's recommended that they also hold a hobbyist specific insurance, which is inexpensive to obtain.

Commercial operators require the express consent of the landowner. They must be a CAA licensed pilot or company and hold a valid Permissions for Commercial Operations certificate, including relevant insurance and risk assessments.
