  • The actual building exterior used for Fawlty Towers was Wooburn Grange, a country club at Bourne End in Buckinghamshire. After two fires on the premises the building was demolished, to be replaced by new housing development. See: http://www.btinternet.com/~c.tomlinson/wg.htm
  • Or (as that link doesn't appear to work), see: http://www.fawltysite.net/wooburngrange.htm or: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wooburn_Grange_Country_Club
  • That's nonsense actually and a complete myth. Here is the real place that the BBC used for at least 70% of the exterior shots.
