Film Locations in Kent offer exceptional choice to Filmmakers
Kent, the Garden of England, has an incredibly diverse array of landscapes and buildings to offer as film locations. Added to this, Kent’s proximity to London, with its excellent transport links, make it a practical choice for filmmakers. The county also has a history of welcoming film and television productions and the local authorities and residents are often cooperative and enthusiastic about hosting filmmakers.
For these reasons, Amazing Space is always looking for interesting locations in Kent to offer to filmmakers and there are an abundance of very special locations to choose from.
The Kent coast, with its rich maritime history, offers locations like the old dockyard, IND-033, with its arrestingly beautiful warehouses and old cobbled alleys. This location has been used extensively as a location for productions including Call the Midwife and Les Miserables. Then, standing at the mouth of the River Medway is the old gun tower, COM-9166, only accessible at low tide!
The beautiful Kent landscapes add depth and beauty to any production and this panoramic landscape is stunningly illustrated by the lavender fields at RUR-11771.
Kent’s rich history and architectural heritage offers a further wealth of unique filming opportunities. The county is home to magnificent castles, like CH-298 with its classic castellations and picture-perfect reflection in the castle moat. More eccentric is the pink Moroccan courtyard at CH-8856 or the Italian Garden at RUR-11287. Grand structures and statements like these not only provide impressive visuals but also add authenticity and richness to dramas and historical films.
In conclusion, Kent offers an array of enticing reasons to choose it as a filming location. With its stunning landscapes, rich history, convenient location, versatile settings, and supportive film industry, the county provides filmmakers with an abundance of options and resources to bring their creative visions to life.
