The Fraggle Rock lighthouse
Does anybody know where these exteriors were shot? I'm *sure* I recognise the lighthouse, but I can't place it!

Oh yeah, I would like to see Fraggle Rock from the perspective of England, Germany, or another country.

Actually there were 3 european versions and only one of them had a lighthouse and that was the UK version.

The lighthouse is St.Anthony on the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall.

Very close to St.Mawes and also visible from Falmouth.

You can walk right upto the lighthouse though I've yet to see a Fraggle there...

From what I've seen in Fraggle Rock Behind the Scenes. In England, Doc was a lighthouse owner. In France, Doc was a chef and Sprocket was called Croquet. And in Germany, Doc was an inventor just like in the American version.

Actually the German set was an exact replica of the US set, so that would (like the previous posters correctly said) make the german Doc an inventor, too.
