Film Location Hamlet with Arable Farm

Interior

We offer our mini-estate and working farm, as a beautiful and tranquil multi-purpose movie location. In addition to our working arable farm, we also offer the exteriors of the residential properties, which include the Manor House.
Barn: Potential uses - Filming Location or Base
As well as the photo-locations, we offer a traditional barn that can act as a large (140m2) "base" from which to direct operations / store kit, make sets or use as a relaxation area.
We have other barns, both old and modern which would be suitable for filming dramatic scenes for TV or Films etc.
We can also offer office space, and the use of a generator.
In addition, we have good connections with local services - caterers and accommodation - which we can organise if required.
Pre-Production Consultancy Services
Members of the owners family also have a wide range of knowledge and expertise, including medical herbalism and associated sustainability issues, ecology and on-farm conservation / habitat management, estate management, game management, and editing and publishing who may be recruited as specialist advisers to production companies requiring such skills.

We have created habitats such as woodland and field margins, and actively manage these and the older habitats such as the river Cerne and downland for wildlife.
As a result, our fields sing to the tune of abundant yellowhammers, song thrushes and bumblebees. Plentiful brown hares, roe deer and badgers roam the farm, which is home to over 280 species of animal.
The rolling hills give plenty of opportunity for distant or elevated vantage points.
