Have you tried to download from Update 2? It seems to work.

Surely Macbeths castle was Cawdor castle, which is`nt in Inverness, close, but no cigar.

Hi,

Belmont is a fantasy place. In Italian Belmont(e) means "nice mountain", and a place so named doesn't exist, at least in Veneto region.
Where could it be, if real? The hills nearest to Venice are Colli Euganei, see placemark and images here:

Colli Euganei

bye

Yes, I agree this is an excellent post. I have written a story about this at the Google Earth Blog. You can read the story here.

I think you are right, Belmont must be a fantasy place like the "Forest of Arden" in "As you like it".

A lot of castles are known to Macbeth's castle, like Cawdor or Glamis !
for discussion on this topic, see :
http://www.highlanderweb.co.uk/macbeth.htm
In fact, nobody knows exactly where it is. I have chosen the location of the text of the play (Act 1, Scene 5) : Inverness. Macbeth's castle.

The Forest of Arden is not a fantasy place; it is an area near Coventry. This placemark is of the Marriott Forest of Arden Hotel and Country Club in Meriden, Warwickshire. See this website. Nearby are the villages of Hampton-in-Arden (2.3 miles SW) and Henley-in-Arden (12 miles SSW). Both have railway stations which are placemarked already so I haven't marked these again. The history of the Forest of Arden in Shakespeare's time is discussed at Chapter 2 here. The information here is nonsense. Would Shakespeare be writing about a forest he knew well just down the road from Stratford-upon-Avon, called Arden, or one in continental Europe which he'd probably never heard of - and it's called Ardennes anyway.

Sorry to be picky on such a good post, but your PM for Baynard's Castle should be about 0.25 miles ESE of where it is now, i.e. just east of Blackfriars station, in between there and the slip road from Upper Thames Street to Queen Victoria Street. Turn on roads and you will see Castle Baynard Street is still there. This is confirmed here .

Ok for your location of "Forest of Arden". I add it and update the folder.

Langley, Richard II : 3, 4

This is likely to be at Kings Langley in Hertfordshire. Edmund de Langley, the Duke of York, was born in and owned a palace here that has since burned down.

I'm not sure how to mark the place but I can pinpoint it for you. A school is on the site of the palace and the postcode is WD4 9HG.

Richard II was buried here (before being moved to Westminster)

I assume that this is also the site of:
The Duke of York 's Palace, Richard II : 5, 2 and may be "a royal palace" mentioned in other scenes.
