Thanks for all those images, AmunPtah. A lot of work there !!  I've visited many of the places in the past - although not all - when I've been on holiday in the area. Cheers. Mad

Thank you for the podcast of the images of Barrow Hill. That was fun and now I want to replay the game. I enjoyed seeing the actual place and will play again with those images in my mind.

Thats a excellent Video AmunPtah! I must visit those locations myself seeing as I'm only 18 miles away!
I love the Lost Crown photos too. I was half expecting Harbour cottage to actually be haunted when i visited it!

I liked the sheep jumping the fence 40 seconds in. Yep that was a humorous surprise! I had no idea the sheep was there when I began filming. Sheep really could take over the world if they put their minds to it... That was fun and now I want to replay the game. I enjoyed seeing the actual place and will play again with those images in my mind. I'm glad that you want to play again. I do too! I can't wait for Bracken Tor and TLC2. Expect more videos and photosets when they drop. I must visit those locations myself seeing as I'm only 18 miles away!
Do it! Have you visited any of the sights from The Lost Crown? A quick tip is to look at the map when you view each set of my photos on Flickr. I have painstakingly placed each photo to the location where I took it, down to the nearest 10 metres or so. It should help you plan out where to go. If want any help or advice PM me and I'll let you know my email.

My Missus couldn't understand why I was so excited seeing the place! I am going back again and to Looe as-well. I'd love to see the other places such as the lighthouse, Bobs workshop, and Karswell house. Well done for finding the locations and i can't wait for Bracken Tor/ Last Crown locations too! Hint hint! All the best Gareth

Thanks Gareth,
The lighthouse is on the coast path just east of Polperro, on the way to Talland Bay. The Karswell House is actually in Devon, just! Its at Morwhellam Quay, a few miles SW of Tavistock.
Bob's workshop is the last one I need for my collection. The exterior is the Teglios stores in The Warren, Polperro, but the interior is the one that I need. Jonathan said that the workshop is a mashup of the mill and cider press near Lanhydrock House, but I went all around the House and drove aimlessly around the nearby roads and couldn't find it :-( I'll have to ask him again. Morwellham Quay? Ahh not far! I might be able to find the workshop near Lanhydrock house as i know the area quite well! We must organise a minibus tour of the locations as I'm sure there's many Gameboomers who'd love to see the Barrow Hill/ Lost crown places.
