Default Re: The All New Megathread

The Monkey has come to see us for the weekend so we went for a nice walk around the charming Chiltern village of Turville, better known as the filming location of The Vicar of Dibley, Goodnight Mr Tom, and many more. On the hill above is Cobstone Windmill, better known as the home of Caractacus Potts in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

The village pub is called The Bull and Butcher and was our stop over for lunch. Fantastic grub and Brakespear on tap. Trouble is I am now struggling to stay awake...

If you want to picture the place watch any number of the episodes of Midsomer Murders constantly on repeat on ITV3. It's all filmed in the villages around Turville. If you ever spot Barnaby heading into or past a flint-faced pub called The Chequers, that's in Fingest, just half a mile from Turville!
