ellarienOne day last July, my mother and I hiked through the little hamlet of Ringinglow on the southern edge of Sheffield, where the Round Walk meets the old turnpike road over the moors. The field by the pub was full of media-looking trucks and trailers, some of them with little paper labels on the doors: "Young Heathcliff, "Young Nell," "Kathy." I deduced that a production of Wuthering Heights was in progress.
I think, after watching the online making-of video, it was this one, which opened on Masterpiece Classic on Sunday night; what we saw would have been connected with the "riding up to the gates" scenes, where the houses were photoshopped in to a background of moors from "south of Sheffield."
I also think -- though the making-of is silent on the subject -- that the ancient stone track and dramatic crags featured in some of the scenes were Stanage Edge, a mile or two from the landscape in my icon. Either that, or there's somewhere on the actual Yorkshire moors that looks exactly like it. (The same edge featured in the Pride and Prejudice movie a few years back.)
