Here are some helpful details about where the coven is staying.
They are currently living at Easnor castle, which in real life is being used as a hotel, but since this is a roleplay we're twisting the facts to the way we like it. It has 5,000 acres of land, with 4 lakes (one big one behind the castle, and three smaller ones elsewhere). There are also several cottages scattered around the grounds that people can stay in. Check out the links below.
Eastnor Castle: www.celticcastles.com/castles/eastnorcastle/
The Castle is located about 100 miles from London, and for cars travelling along the motorway it would take just under an hour to drive there (without heavy traffic). It is isolated, so even though it won't get as many cloudy days as Forks, it doesn't matter so much. The surrounding area is largely made up of paddocks (pastures) with patches of trees. There is a small town called 'Ledbury' 2km (1.2 miles) away. The nearest city is 'Worchester' about 25km (15.5 miles) away.
Here is a list of animals that the vampires can hunt: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mammals_of_Great_Britain
In England all cars are driven on the left side of the road. This means that the steering wheel needs to be on the right. However, for the cars that were brought over from America all have steering wheels on the left, which makes it a bit awkward (but not illegal) when driving.
The legal drinking age in England is 18, for those human characters *wink wink*
US$100 = UK£61.44 // UK£100 = US$162.77 (This may not be exact due to the changing exchange rates)
I've seen some people mention a porch. They're in a castle, not a house. They don't have a porch. Just an entranceway.
If your character if going to speed when driving, then they can't get away with it every time. There are a lot of speed cameras around, especially on the main roads, which includes the motorways between London and the castle. This means that if your character isn't sticking to the speed limit, then it's likely that they will get ticketed. Note that speed cameras are different from being pulled over by a cop. If your character gets caught by a speed camera, a letter is posted to the residence of the registered owner of the vechicle, and they have to pay a fine. Let me repeat that: SPEED CAMERA!!!!!! NOT a cop!
