Great Hampden

Carpathian Eagle

Hammer made good use of the roads in and around Great Hampden for many of the car driving scenes in the series. In particluar, the crossroads just outside the main gate of Hampden House was used in a quite a few episodes. In Carpathian Eagle it was used at the very beginning of the episode when Natalie picks her first victim. Natalie is walking towards Hampden House’s main gate as the victim’s car is seen approaching the crossroads.

You will see below that it was also used in the Charlie Boy and Two Faces of Evil episodes.

Charlie Boy

In Charlie Boy the crossroads was used when Sarah is driving her Mini at speed and also when Graham was driving at speed too.

Children of The Full Moon

The lanes in Great Hampden and outside Hampden House were used for the car driving scenes.

The road leading from Great Missenden to Butlers Cross (Rignall Road) was used when Mike has to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting Allison. He stops outside what was the original gatehouse of Hampden House.

The road in the opening sequence is just down the hill from Hampden House. It’s Hight St/Rignall Road.
