Black Park Country Park, Buckinghamshire

Excuse me - is this the right road for Castle Dracula ?

Uploader's Comments

I first discovered the dark conifer plantations of Black Park as a schoolboy, on a bike trip from West London. On later visits we found that filming often overflowed from Pinewood Studios next door (TQ0184) - on one occasion we happened on a deserted prisoner-of-war camp. Somebody at Hammer Films must have thought the place would make a good Transylvania, because in one of their productions (please don't ask which) you see a horse-drawn carriage, with unsuspecting passenger, rolling along this track en route for Dracula's castle.
