A kindly grandfather sits down with his grandson and reads him a bedtime story. The story is one that has been passed down through from father to son for generations. As the grandfather reads the story, the action comes alive. The story is a classic tale of love and adventure as the beautiful Buttercup is kidnapped and held against her will in order to marry the odious Prince Humperdinck, and Westley (her childhood beau, now returned as the Dread Pirate Roberts) attempts to save her. On the way he meets an accomplished swordsman and a huge, super strong giant, both of whom become his companions in his quest. They meet a few bad guys along the way to rescue Buttercup. Written by Afterburner (My nephew loves this film, so we just had to put it in)

The filming of The Princess Bride took place in - Derbyshire, Buckinghamshire, Ireland, South Yorkshire and Surrey.

Below are the 1987 THEN shots of the filming locations used in Rob Reiner - The Princess Bride. This will be a direct visual comparison of how the filming locations have changed over time (once we have found the actual locations.) Some places and buildings are now totally unrecognisable due to massive development and area progress while some have undergone the opposite direction towards deterioration and decay. Some places, however, have stayed intact as they were, unaffected by the passage of weather and time.

The order below is the same order from the beginning to the end of the movie. If you can provide further information or help me locate the missing links, it will be greatly appreciated. These are all my personal observations and any form of constructive criticism or informative suggestion would be most welcome. Roly – Filming Locations Detectives
