The Lost Crown: A Ghost-Hunting Adventure - Filming Locations

Filming Locations

The Lost Crown: A Ghost-Hunting Adventure features many real locations, from Cornwall and Devon. These locations are presented photographically:

• Polperro: Doubling as the fictional town of Saxton, Polperro is in South-East Cornwall. It is a functioning fishing port, with many attractions and features. The town is seen throughout The Lost Crown, providing locations such as:
  • The Bear: In reality, an old warehouse by the seafront.
  • Harbour Cottage: Known as Studio Cottage, on the harbour quayside.
  • Willy Wilcox Cave: Appears as the Saxton Caverns, and Grindle’s Maw. In reality, the cave system is much smaller than that seen in-game.
  • Celtic Corner: Based on the cliff road, above Polperro, the real building is currently empty and a little derelict.
  • Bob Tawny’s Workshop and Pigsty: A real workshop, once used to store boat makers equipment and harbour machinery.
  • The Lighthouse Café: Is a real restaurant, known as The House on Props. The location is semi-famous, after being painted and photographed by thousands of artists and tourists.
  • The Saxton Museum: Once a civic building, the premises are currently empty, awaiting refurbishment.

• Duloe Church, St. Cuby’s: This appears, in-game, as the fictional church at Northfield. All of the scenes shown in-game can be found at this location, including the stone effigy, slate carvings, Elizabethan rood screen and wooden pews. The Vestry, featured, was not photographed at this location. Instead, the vestry at Pelynt Church was used.

• Morwellham Quay: A popular Devonshire tourist attraction, the restored buildings at Morwellham provided a suitable location for the Karswell’s rural farmhouse.

• Looe: Like Polperro, Looe is a seaside town in South East Cornwall. It is visually distinctive for its ‘Banjo Pier’, (seen in-game as The Martello Tower) and huge, sandy beach (seen in-game as the fens and Saxton Shore). The Antique Shop, on Looe High Street, is also seen, in-game as Mr. Gruel’s Antiques.

• Talland Bay: Talland Parish Church, on the cliffs, above Talland Bay doubles as the fictional Ulcombe Church, seen in-game during May Day. The real church does not have underground crypts or a tower full of ancient steam machinery. The interior scenes, seen in-game, match the real location, with the church organ dominating the aisle.

• Stocks Lane: This small country road joins Duloe with Causeland, in South East Cornwall. It appears in game as the road from Northfield Junction and Ager House. The Carrion Wood, in reality, is a dense, dark wood known locally as Windsor Woods. Some woodland scenes were also captured, in the Trelawne Woods, near Pelynt.

• Hannafore Beach: Appears in-game, as the jagged rocks of The Pinnacles. The location, in reality, does appear very similar, offering a maze like series of jagged passages, and foggy coastal views.
