Home to Pinewood Film Studios, the county of Buckinghamshire has been used as the backdrop for countless well-known TV series and films from Bridget Jones to Bond, Harry Potter to Inspector Morse- The list is endless!

These are our top iVisit film spots

1. Stoke Park

Stoke Park has always known to have a close relationship with Pinewood Studios and the British film industry. Two James Bond movies, Goldfinger (1964) and Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) were filmed at Stoke Park. The epic duel between James Bond (Sean Connery) and Goldfinger (Gert Frobe) is still considered to be the most famous game of golf in cinematic history.

The famous ‘mini break’ and rowing scenes from Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001) were filmed in the Great Hall, Lakes and The Pennsylvania Suite with Hugh Grant, Renée Zellweger and Colin Firth.

In 2004, three movies were released all featuring Stoke Park: Wimbledon, Bride & Prejudice and Matthew Vaughn’s Layer Cake. In Wimbledon, Paul Bettany is featured on the grass tennis courts. Layer Cake featured Stoke Park in many scenes including the dramatic ending with Daniel Craig and Sienna Miller, filmed on The Mansion’s front steps. Bride & Prejudice, a Bollywood reworking of Jane Austen’s classic novel, featured shots throughout the grounds.

Guy Ritchie’s 2008 movie RockNRolla also featured the grass tennis courts and the 21st green. The Stoke Park estate once again featured in W.E., Madonna’s 2011 film about the romance between Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson and its effect on a modern-day New Yorker.

2. The Village Of Turville

Sleepy Cottage is in the Buckinghamshire village of Turville, a popular filming location for its quintessential English village style. It has been used by film crews for Midsomer Murders, Miss Marple and Killing Eve. The three-bedroom property is next door to the church and the house that Dawn French’s character lived in, The Vicar of Dibley and was the home of John Thaw’s character in Goodnight Mister Tom, with the property used to film interior shots for both TV shows. It also has a view of the iconic Cobstone Windmill that appeared in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as the home of Dick Van Dyke’s character Caractacus Potts. The quaint cottage got its name from a legend of an 11-year-old girl who lived there in the 1870s known as the Sleeping Girl of Turville.

3. Amersham

Four Weddings and a Funeral was one of his biggest successes and were the highest-grossing British film in history at the time of its release in 1994. There’s a great local link to the film as scenes at ‘The Lucky Boatmen’ were actually shot across two hotels in Old Amersham – The Crown Inn and The Kings Arms. Both were former coaching inns meaning they are rich in history and you can even book the room that Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell filmed in.
