I put the most interesting sight - Bratton - at the start though it's really the next day.

Bratton Camp and White Horse are impressive - couldn't get the Mini up in that wind but the Nazgul just sliced through it. While the camp was built more than 2000 years ago the horse is fairly recent from the late 1600s.

Chisbury Chapel is a small chapel almost complete that was used religiously until 1547. After that it served as a barn.

Donnington Castle is a fashionable fortified residence from the 14th century with more modern fortifications added (and removed) later on.

Silchester Roman Town Walls and Amphitheatre may be nice on a dry day with the drone up - in this weather they're typically Roman-sights-boring-and-only-knee-high. 

Ludgershall Castle might've been a nice place to fly but the rain still prevented me from flying. It was built from the 11th century and later extended as a luxury hunting lodge for King Henry III.

Netheravon Dovecote was closed and as it was still raining the drone stayed down again.

Hatfield Earthworks - so English Heritage tells you - are made primarily of a large, irregular-shaped henge enclosure, surrounded by a ditch and bordered in part by the River Avon.  Within this lies a second Neolithic henge and a monumental mound. See if you can make out any of it.
