For those who are interested, you can zoom down on to the Pythouse Estate using Google Earth maps (and others). I've been using hobbiton.thisside.net/advmap.htmlThe coordinates of Pythouse are approximately Lat 51.056017 / Long -2.134867 (Remember to add the minus sign before the Long or it won't work). Instructions:-
In the bottom of the first column (right side of page), type in the longitude and latitude (in the boxes below "Reset distance travelled"). Then click "Go to location". Use the slide bars on the left hand side to zoom. Switch to "Satellite" view. To change location, hold down left mouse button on viewing screen while moving mouse. There are vast areas of forest, both natural and plantation, near the house, and also to its north. I assume that the forest scenes were shot in these wooded areas. The large garden facade with 5 prominent arches is possibly near Pythouse, as I can see something that vaguely resembles it behind the house. I have emailed the present owner of the house and hopefully he will be able to help us further. The stables to the east of the mansion are definitely the ones appearing in Diana. Pythouse has a number of follies too, but the location does not look correct for our folly. I think I must have Googled hundreds of follies in the last few days. Some look a bit similar, but none are the same. I've emailed some folly experts but no replies from them as yet. |
