Very interesting list . Had a lovely walk about Exbury myself this evening ( as did the Queen oddly enough... she was visiting the Rothchilds today) I often think about the famous five when I pass the tv locations on my wanderings and sometimes imagine I can hear the voices of the children echoing b...

A cow rolling across a cattle grid would be a sight to behold!
I might take to hanging about next to cattle grids for a photo opportunity

Thanks for the nice words everyone :D Dont know who the owner could be ...someone with money thats for sure. Im sure no-one would have minded too much me being there, I tried to be as discreet as possible. The present owners might not even know the history of the place. I'd like to get a permit so I...

I had a quick cycle down there this morning and took a few pics. Apologies that they are not great quality, it was a bit windy there and my little camera was wobbling about all over the place. There were dogs barking and coming at me from all angles and people peeping at me through windows so I coul...

Well, all credit to Gary for remembering the name (almost) after all these years!...it would only have been a matter of time before one of you located it after that. Amazing that this guy Jim champion identified it and named it as Blackwater house simply from the screenshots I sent him before blackw...

Well we have Jim champion from http://www.geograph.org.uk/ to thank for this one. When I emailed him the other day Blackwater cottage hadnt even been mentioned...this is the email ive just received "I am confident that the building in those screenshots is Black Water House. It is next to Warren...

Found it!!! it is indeed called Blackwater house and is near St leonards....more info coming after Ive had my tea

Hmm.. darkwater is the stream that runs through the Exbury, gatewood area...there is a darkwater cottage somewhere. There is also blackwell common near blackfield :? . Just re-reading Andya's post about Kirrin island, do you mean the bit where George calls timmy from the dog kennel? If so that is in...

Perhaps we'll meet on our travels Andy :lol: Im glad people liked the photos, the bike is a yamaha fj1200, Wouter. Ive sent a message to a prolific contributer of New forest photos on the website http://www.geograph.org.uk/ , hopefully he'll email back and Ill be able to send him screenshots of Kirr...

Well I had a good wander all about the Beaulieu, Bucklers hard, Sowley, St. Leonards, Pylewell area at the weekend, venturing up and down various lanes and gravel tracks but unfortunately to no avail. I also went to look at the 'Hilltop house' mentioned in the German site and that indeed looks quite...

Hi Gary :D , I had a quick scout over that way on the motorbike this evening, its kind of between Sowley, East Boldre and Lymington. There are a lot of houses of a very similar type around there and the surrounding countryside looks familiar. My parents who know the area well pointed me in that dire...

Got a promising lead on the Kirrin cottage location , gonna check out an area called pylewell near lymington at the weekend

Youre right with all those! The fourth pic is the bridge in Exbury gardens that crosses Gilbury lane. Ive seen this in one episode but cant remember which. Gilbury lane is one of my favourite places, its soo quiet and peaceful. We always used to think the bridge was haunted when we were kids. If you...

Glad you liked the pics peppermint. Heres a few more for you. I`ll have to take some specially of other scenes I recognise from the series when I get the chance...these are just ones I happened to have already. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w206/pinkmoon1972/IMGP0067.jpg http://i177.photobucket...

Thanks Andre and Yan. Im having fun picking out all the locations on the youtube videos, I recognise just about everywhere other than Kirrin cottage, its most infuriating. Im just watching the Exbury village scenes in 'Kirrin island' now and its weird seeing the places I know and love so much. I wou...
