Did you know that the cult film Withnail and I
(1987) starring Richard E Grant, Paul McGann and Richard
Griffiths, was filmed in the area?
The
phone box, from
which Withnail phones his agent in London, is actually in
Bampton village itself (a stone's throw from the pub) and Uncle Monty's cottage at Crow
Crag (Sleddale
Hall) is approximately 20 minutes by car and
a further 15 minutes on foot at nearby Wet Sleddale
reservoir near Shap.
