Swaledale, a lesser-known treasure of the Yorkshire Dales National Park in northern England, with its bucolic green meadows dotted with trees and sheep and tiny cottages and that eternally romantic purple heathered moorland.
Moorland was immortalised by the English Romantic writers, who drew their angsty characters within evocative landscapes to heighten emotion. (Think of the tormented Heathcliff of Wuthering Heights.) The isolated moors of Devon worked well as a frightening backdrop for Sherlock Holmes and John Watson to chase down that red-eyed, phosphorescent demon dog in The Hound of the Baskervilles as well.
THERE is an excellent plot for the third Sherlock Holmes movie, because that book is scary as shit. Although production might be difficult, as a hellhound is not the type of dog to stay on a lead. Well. We all know it doesn’t matter so long as Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law continue
looking so fucking hottheir bromantic adventures together. (image wikimedia)
