I'm assuming it is within reasonable pre-industrial travelling time to Ipswich but that doesn't narrow it down much! Is it supposed to be in Suffolk?
The mirror... it's broken.
Yes, I know. I like it that way. Makes me look the way I feel.
Im sorry, I dont know the answer to your question. I just wanted to say I love your tag, where's it from?

Thank you, I really wanted to know. I cant explain why, but I laughed so hard when I read it! Its a sad statement, but it cracked me up.

Bellothika is correct, it's from The Apartment.

It's probably Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire or Essex.
I'm anespeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericumbobulations...
That narrows it down a bit... :/ I think that's called hedging your bets!
I think you missed out Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Dorset... etc.

Dorset to Ipswich is 5 hours by car, I don't think they would travel it back then just to get a ring.

In the DVD Extras, Neil Gaiman explains that the Wall is located in Cork
Great Movie!
Thanks Rod. :) That seems a bit odd though, to have it located in Ireland, when Captain Shakespeare asks Tristan to tell him about his 'beloved England'? Are you talking about the filming location? Because that's not what I was asking about, though I do appreciate your answer.

There is actually a village called Wall in England, but it's in Northumberland which is nowhere near Ipswich! My guess from when Tristan said he would even travel to London or Paris was that the Wall in the story is somewhere in Suffolk-ish area. :-)
shareI believe you're spot-on with Suffolk.
I took a very close look at the opening scene with the scientists at the observatory in the Royal Academy of Science. The young scientist is responding to the letter written to him by young Dunstan. Directly next to the letter is an envelope addressed to Dunstan. As the camera zooms in on the letter, the envelope gets a bit out of focus, but the address does appear to say Wall, Suffolk.
Regarding Cork, I just watched the documentary on the making of Stardust. Gaiman talks about a stone fence with a gap in it which he saw in or near Cork. He said that fence became part of the inspiration for the story, as he imagined that the gap in the fence might be the portal to a magical realm. He didn't say the story was set in Cork, which of course would put it in Ireland.

Judging on where the ruby comes from when it flies up to knock down the star, I'd say they are somewhere a few miles north of Derby… http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/9702/bildschirmfoto20101121uz.png

Most of the village scenes are from either Bibury in Gloucestershire and Castle Combe in Wiltshire. Some are from random places in Scotland and Iceland.
shareThe actual wall is in Little Gaddesden, Hertfordshire.
