Romantic Film Locations Blog

One of the reasons I got interested in Romantic Film Locations was all of those wonderful Jane Austen adaptations of the 1990s. I loved the films so much that I wanted to watch them over and over, dissect every scene, and find all of the gorgeous locations. This was the early days of the Internet for me, but I found many like-minded folks at a website called The Republic of Pemberley. I can’t believe that the site is still going! Clearly there are a lot of new Jane Austen film fans who can’t get enough of Colin Firth’s Darcy “look” and discussions about who was a better Knightley (Mark Strong or Jeremy Northam).

So if you are Austen inclined, put on your best web manners and browse around the postings at Pemberley. You’re bound to be all astonishment or at least excessively diverted!

Hello and welcome to the Romantic Film Locations blog. I have always been interested in film locations but I could probably trace it back to seeing the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me. Gorgeous operative Barbara Bach slinking around Egypt in that fabulous evening gown? Yep, that’s who I wanted to be.

Since then I’ve turned my sights toward Western Europe… and England specifically. My desire fueled by the Jane Austen adaptations of the mid-nineties with their lush landscapes and stately homes

I hope you will forgive the site not being completely ready – it is a work in progress. Do check back often as I have plenty more to say on the subject.
