'Come on lads, let's get home. The sky's beginning to bruise, night must fall and we shall be forced to camp.' Monty
Hooray! The nice chap who has bought Sleddale Hall - Monty's cottage in the cult film Withnail and I - has vowed to restore it to it's former glory.
Cumbrian businessman Sebastian Hindley, who also owns the Mardale Inn in nearby Bampton, snapped up the gem from water firm United Utilities for £265,000 after it lay empty for many years.
He said: "I will be glad to welcome everyone, from local people to fans of the film, to those who would like to spend some quality time in tranquillity.
"I want to see it back like it used to be in the film and, where scenes were filmed elsewhere, try and incorporate those into the whole package.
"I live in this area because I love this area. One of the things that makes it so attractive is the bleak beauty that was highlighted in the film."
