Where is this? Just for fun.

[DuncanDisorderly]

Nice try - but no...
Even if you have never been to the cinema you would know about this film.

Major Major clue
The location is intimately associated with photography.

 

[mickledore]

I'll have to pass on this one. That clue means as little to me as the film hint.

 

[ukglyn]

no idea at all:shrug:

 

[DuncanDisorderly]

Right Ho...
I'll wait for someone else to have a go before posting more clues.
It is an iconic location that is instantly recognisable and anyone who has been there or seen any of the many published images and asked where it was taken.

Ah - Glyn posted.
Here a big enough clue to work it out from Google - the location is in two Harry Potter films.

Lacock Abbey (Fox Talbot).

 

[DuncanDisorderly]

Lacock Abbey (Fox Talbot).

Yup - spot on!
If you Google images for "harry potter location cloisters", you get an image of the pot on the second page.
Lacock is the birthplace of photography; see Fox Talbot.

 

[srichards]

One of the college places in Oxford used in Morse?

Drat, too late...

 

[DuncanDisorderly]

Well worth a visit - loads and loads of different things to photograph - and the cloisters are fantastic.
I've never seen any other location looking remotely like that pot; it's instantly recognisable.

 

[Yv]

Is it Lacock that is the base for the RPS?

 

[DuncanDisorderly]

I thought the RPS was based in Bath (Fenton House).
But I'm ready to be corrected!

Ozei - you won - it's your turn ! :rules:

Here's a scan of an old film pic but the place is still there (that's not a clue ).

 

[Yv]

I think a small clue might be needed

T'would seem so Yv .

Clue: The Queen Mother went there in 1923.

 

[Wookee]

Polesden Lacey?

 

[Ozei]

Polesden Lacey?

Correct - your go!

 

[Wookee]

See if this one lasts longer than a minute!

 

[Yves Geza]

It will if it's not Ally Pally

 

[Wookee]

It will if it's not Ally Pally

I make that 38 minutes... My new record!!

Your go Yves

 

[Yves Geza]

OK - what about?

 

[Yv]

[Marc]

Brixham?

 

[Yves Geza]

Gesundheit! I thought you were sneezing!

Not Brixham

 

[Marc]

Ah well, only place I could think of with that type of marina.

 

[Yves Geza]

Understandable. It is the same sort of age of harbour.

 

[ukglyn]

Lyme Regis

 

[Yves Geza]

Lyme Regis

It is Lyme Regis from the Cobb

 

[ukglyn]

hmm, a hill and a lake and boats.... Lake District? :shrug:

 

[ukglyn]

More specific needed!

 

[Lynton]

hmm, a hill and a lake and boats.... Lake District? :shrug:

ah but it's the downhill sailing section!

 

[Yv]

More specific needed!

oh....errr.... *scratches head trying to remember the lake names, apart from Windermere itself*

I'll try Coniston water for starters?


EDIT: windermere is the only one I have seen from most angles and I dont recognize it btw...but if it is...DOH!!!

ah but it's the downhill sailing section!

Of course the water runs downhill, its the lake district, its oop north, it runs south

 

[ukglyn]

No not coniston or windermere, the water runs downhill due to guinness consumption when taking it!

 

[Yv]

Hmm....anyone got a pin I could borrow? >> Lake District Lakes


OK, next on the list that I know...Grasmere?

 

[big soft moose]

wast water ?

 

[ukglyn]

Hmm....anyone got a pin I could borrow? >> Lake District Lakes


OK, next on the list that I know...Grasmere?

nope.

nice easy clue, most of the lakes name is what it is full of.
