Filming Location

 

Historic Fort Amherst offers a range of filming opportunities, and has already been the chosen location for several films.


From box-office hits like Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows or The Darkest Hour – to amateur productions or photo locations, it offers amazing shooting opportunities.


Few locations can offer the perfect back-drop for such a variety of productions. Imagine how you could creatively use: caves and tunnels; a soldiers’ barracks; cannon and fortifications; or even a Grand Magazine and Gate house. Not to mention atmospheric ruins, well-tended lawns and ‘rougher’ grassland.


We’d love to help! Please contact Fort Amherst to discuss your needs, or to arrange a visit.
