The locations as mentioned in the IMDB website are just outside Bath. The station at Monkton Coombe is no more - although the entrance gateposts are. Freshford is a time warp - substantially unchanged since the film was made in 1952; there aren't many locations that you could say that about. The route of the track is just about discernable though overgrown. Definitely worth a visit.

Hi Bart. After you've followed up those links from Nick you should try visiting the locations. Apart from the fact that the railway has gone and nature has reclaimed the track bed, many have changed surprisingly little. This is especially true of Freshford, around the church, which will be instantly familiar to fans of TTT.
