Minimum height requirements

I've always understood that the minimum height for UK flights in a light aircraft is 500 feet.
Reading "Beyond the PPL" by Nigel Everett I see that in fact we must not fly vertically or diagonally nearer than 500' to any person ,building or vessel,so if flying in the open countryside it would be OK to fly at say 200' as long as this requirement was respected.
Obviously noise could be an issue and should be taken into account.

I don't intend to blast around at zero feet but would like some more info on this,is all this correct?
