Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey, 2 versions. The first one from 1986 by the BBC that was also broadcast on Masterpiece Theatre. The second, from 2007, by ITV and I understand this will also be shown on Masterpiece Theatre sometime this year. The latest version was filmed in Ireland, but the first version was shot in England. Take a look at the title shot on the disc. The "Abbey" is actually Bodium Castle in East Sussex, a place I've visited a number of times. In addition to driving there you can also take the steam train from Tenterden, Kent.

Above is a photo I took in 1982, below in 2006. Looks like I need to correct the horizon on that one.
