Places you have visited, or would like to after seeing it in a movie orTV show? 20:34 - Aug 9 with 707 viewsYaffle

Having just binge-watched Big Little Lies on Now TV (which we really enjoyed), I have added Northern California to my list of must-visit places to get to. I had no idea it was just so beautiful. I also heard someone on the news this afternoon describe it as 'objectively the most beautiful place on earth'.

It got me wondering, what places have people seen in a film or TV show, and it has sparked the idea to visit? What show/film was it, what was the location, and have you been yet?

I went to the west coast of Scotland near Mallaig where they filmed the 80s film Local hero

Went to the remote beach where they land the helicopter in the film. The place is absolutely stunning. A beautiful part of the world

I was there in June. It really is.

Tho I've never seen Local Hero.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

I want to walk the row river trail in Oregon because of Stand by me. Me and my brother in law have made a promise that we'll do it before we're 50.

Every series of race across the world inspires me to want to go to most of the locations.
In the wider world I've been to Angkor in Cambodia where Tomb Raider was filmed, though in truth I hadn't really seen the film and it wasn't my driver for going!
Closer to home, many moons ago I set off on a pilgrimage to Brighton after watching Quadrophenia.

I watched a movie called The Hills Have Eyes, and it really made me want to go to Norfolk.

Matera and Gravina in Puglia in Italy which feature in the opening sequences of the Bond film No Time to Die, and Meteora in Greece which is in For Your Eyes only, although neither was as a direct result of seeing the film.

Last summer we visited Southfork Ranch in Dallas, a few Breaking Bad locations, dined at the Beverly Wilshire which was featured in Pretty Woman and visited Beverly Hills City Hall which was used for the Beverly Hills Police Headquarters in Beverly Hills Cop

I was thinking about places used for Album covers and music videos the other day. From memory I’ve crossed the Abbey Road zebra crossing, stayed at Pikes Hotel in Ibiza which was used for the Club Tropicana video and dined at the Berverly Hills Hotel (Pink Palace) which is featured on the cover of Hotel California.

Sometimes I think about the frothing lunatics I’ve put on ignore, who will have kept replying to me again and again, but I don’t even realise they exist.

That Knoydart region up there truly is Britain’s last great wilderness.

I wanted to visit this phone booth in Bangor, Maine a few weeks back…turned out the scene was filmed in Canada but they said it was Bangor. Gutted.

Alcatraz.

Always wanted to visit it, but especially after the Clint Eastwood film Escape from Alcatraz came out. I actually went to it in 1992. It was great in a grim sort of way. Fulfilled another film wish to on that trip. Driving a car too fast down the hills of San Francisco Steve McQueen Bullitt style. Such fun.

November will fulfil another film related bucket list job - doing a cruise down the Nile after some time in Cairo. Loved the 70s Ustinov film Death on the Nile.

Edit: went to Colditz Castle a couple of months ago. TV series/film - bucket list ticked. It didn’t disappoint.

I’ve always wanted to go to Themyscira to meet Wonder Woman.

But I’ve not met a single travel agent who can tell me how to get there.
