Bond days out ?

in General James Bond Chat
Thinking of the UK mainly but all recommendations accepted. :D
There are bound to be loads of places used for location work on the Bonds,
So was wondering if we could get a few suggestions for trips or days out.
Fleming used many places in the south East in his books, and of course not
All of us know every location used, so it might be nice to have a few suggestions
Of what to keep an eye out for. :D
Same with Wales and Scotland. ?

    I sure any London members are bored to death with the locations
    Used in the Bonds ( look at SF) but for us out here in the sticks, it
    Could be useful if planing a trip.
    I keep threatening the wife with a photography holiday in Scotland
    So I can see and photograph Eilean Donan Castle ( TWINE) but she
    Says she'd be bored stiff, like watching someone go fishing. :))

    Skyfalls Scotland was actually Hankley Common in Hampshire. An area open to the public but also used by the military. Bit of CGI work going on to make Hants looks like Scotland, though!

    " What a God awful barren place ! And Hankley common is just as bad !" :))
    Must be nice if your a local Bond fan, even if it's just walking the dog on it . -{

    Got a voucher for that for my birthday, which I have not used yet.

    Beachy Head just outside of Eastbourne is where they fired the Land Rover over the edge for the PTS of TLD.

    Also driven up Charing Hill many times (Moonraker Book) never seen any large rolls of printing paper coming towards me.

    And of course live in Tunbridge Wells the hometown of 'Mr. & Mrs. James Bond' -{

    Have also been to Jamaica, which I found a big disappoinment :#
    One of us smells like a tart's handkerchief.

    Maybe we should make a definitive AJB UK Bond tour document to chuck in the AJB Articles section since this topic comes up a fair bit with people going to London etc and the mass amount of Bond things around the UK :)

    Two Bond things I know of are- The National Express coach to Kent (Canterbury etc.) is service 007 from Victoria coach station.

    Then back in 1985 I visited Amberley Chalk Pits in W.Sussex where the exteriors of Zorins mine and airship were filmed for
    A View To A Kill film. It was filled up with American cars at the time.

    We climbed up Dunns river falls (DR NO) when we was in MO BAY , and the falls have a banister going up the left hand side
    for us tourists to hang onto ,So bit of a let down. But then its only us dam tourists that muck it up any way :) .
