Mesmerising images providing a glimpse of Britain's rolling countryside and picturesque coastlines and cities have been captured from the air using drones.
The series of stunning aerial shots show the nation's majestic sites in all its glory, from the spectacular agricultural views of Somerset to the jaw-dropping beauty of rural Scotland.
The photographs are all entries in the Shot On My Drone competition by the Civila Aviation Authority (CAA) which aims to both highlight the incredible images the devices can capture and also educate people about drone safely.
Among the incredible images is one showing the setting sun over a beach in St Ives, Cornwall, and another of the White Cliffs of Dover.
The thousand-year-old Corfe Castle rising above an atmospheric mist on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset is also among the fascinating images.
Sitting just a stone's throw away from Harland Moor National Nature Reserve, the ancient castle built by William the Conqueror and dating back to the early 12th century stands on the top of a 180ft-high hill and can be seen from miles around.

More than 300,000 Britons fly drones and model aircraft, although research by the CAA found 20 per cent of them and half of the general public are unaware that the organisation's approval is usually needed to fly one in a town or city.
The survey also showed that two-thirds of drone users would prefer to capture images on the countryside and of those 31 per cent would choose to take the shot over hills or mountains.
More than 28 per cent said they would prefer to capture drone footage near the coast, while 19 per cent said they would capture images of a lake or river.
The competition aims to educate people on the drone permissions required to fly across towns, cities, and the UK countryside and the categories include; urban night, urban day and countryside.
