mckjuana Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I currently live in Australia and once a year I get a couple of weeks to fly back home and roam around the UK, generally catching up with people and just curing homesickness. Usually I have no agenda, I just go places. However this year (July) I thought I'd do a Led Zepp Road trip. I was hoping the forum could help out with suggestions of Zepp landmarks in the UK I've provisionally identified the following: Bron yr aur Site of LZ4 back cover photo Page's pangbourne house The devils hole (jersey) Boleskine house London (bound to be a few!) Rushock Any suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mckjuana Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thanks, some great suggestions in this and the other thread: Definitely Headley Grange Raglan castle potentially Olympic studios First rehearsal place Jimmy's tower house Does anyone know if Jennings farm is "accessible"? I'm also trying to work out internally if I should include the place where it all ended Concert halls are too anonymous to be zeppelin specific IMO. I've been to the royal Albert hall dozens of times, and while it's awesome, it doesn't really ring out zeppelin to me. Maybe some of the smaller venues, but probably not. Is the Old Street rehearsal room on the cover I TSRT still standing? Also: butt naked, blonde wig, giants causeway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knebby Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Does anyone know if Jennings farm is "accessible"? It's a family home and definitely shouldn't be included in a sight-seeing tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckjuana Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 It's a family home and definitely shouldn't be included in a sight-seeing tour. Not to split hairs but isn't Bron yr Aur too? And Jimmy's London house? I wasn't planning on knocking on the door, just looking to see what was visible from the nearest public road, listening to JFBlues on my iPod, jump back in the car and them being on my merry way.

It sounds like some of Page's former homes, and likely the former/current homes of John Paul and Robert, are fairly secluded so you'd be in for a hike.

That's cool, thanks. That's what I meant by accessible. If they're secluded and on private land then I'm obviously not going to treck across and take photos. If they were visible then I'd have a look as best I could. Public footpaths are fair game. Hmmm. I hasn't considerd how accessible boleskine is actually.

Well you asked for advice. That's my genuine advice. Members of Robert's family still live there and he hates it when people trek up there to look, so personally as a fan of the band I would prefer to adhere to his wishes, but I guess that's down to personal values and the definition of "fair game". It isn't on a road that people walk along all the time, like Jimmy's London house is, and you won't see anything you haven't already seen in photos, so for me my time would be better spent going somewhere like Raglan where you can actually physically go in there and enjoy it on a personal level. As for Bron yr Aur it's already been stated in this thread that sometimes the current owners are ok with people making a respectful pilgrimage - and no doubt sometimes it is pain in the arse, so you take that risk. Anyway, lots of fun to be had if it's done right, so good luck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
