I was talking to the Jane, the owner of Decoy Pond Farm, on Monday. She informed me that she remembers the closing titles being filmed at PARTRIDGE BUSH, a small insignificant clump of trees just off the B3056 road. From Beaulieu road train station it is about a mile SE along the B3056 towards Beaulieu. The road goes into a dip before rising again. As the road reaches the top of the hill, the clump of trees are seen on your right..about 100 yards away...not far from the Pig bush car park further along the road.
There are no longer any pine trees there, as seen in the closing scene. Jane's husbands friend, who was a forest ranger at the time of filming, informed me that he cut the trees down not long after filming. Only a dozen or so of mature trees remain. He also said that some of the galloping scenes from Mystery Moor were filmed on an adjacent track. He remembers the camera being mounted on tracks so they could move along & capture the action as the horses galloped across the moor. Jane said that they had to get some stand-in's for the actors on a few occasions, & don them with unconvincing wigs!
Even after 40 years, Jane seems to remember practically everything about the filming that took place, as if it were yesterday! She even told me that the lady who supplied the carriages, which Henry ( Henrietta) was seen using in the MM episode, is still alive & still supplying carriages for films, etc! Her name is Margaret Travers, & she still lives locally. Jane has my e-mail address & she will send me more details about the filming locations from other sources, who were around at the time.
GARY...if ever you get round to writing your book, then Jane & Mrs Travers would be a great for anecdotes, & for possibly jogging your memory!
Ps:- I can't question the above info or that re the end credits. I can only go on what I've been told. Maybe Gary has other recollections on where they were filmed.
