United Kingdom Burnham Beeches

Burnham Beeches and Stoke Common are located in Buckinghamshire to the west of London. he largely beech woodland has been regularly pollarded, with many trees now several hundred years old. Their age, and the amount of deadwood in and around them, means that the woodland is rich in wildlife.

The close proximity of Pinewood, Shepperton and Bray Studios and the outstanding natural beauty of the Beeches have made it a desirable filming location. Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, The Crying Game, First Knight, Goldfinger, The Princess Bride, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 and Horrible Histories: The Movie are among the films and TV productions that have been shot at Burnham Beeches.

Filming is tightly controlled in recognition of the Beeches' international importance for wildlife. Filming is restricted to no more than twenty days per year and to certain times of year. Filming in environmentally sensitive areas has also been banned. Revenue from filming goes directly to fund the upkeep and management of the Beeches.

Autumn id a superb time to visit. The beech trees give rise to amazing colour during Autumn and a clear sunny morning makes the most of them.

There are a number of car parks dependent on your approach to the woods. Parking information and any restrictions can be found here: https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/things-to-do/green-spaces/burnham-beeches-and-stoke-common/visitor-information/Pages/default.aspx
