Whether it’s a lightsaber battle in the woods or casting spells in the corridors of Hogwarts, the West Midlands has been used as a filming location for many popular movies and TV shows. And it’s no surprise why!
The landscapes are breathtaking, the cities historic and the sights monumental.
Having been brought up in the West Midlands myself, I’ve picked out some of the coolest filming locations you might want to visit during your next trip to the British heartland.
Puzzlewood
Puzzlewood, a fourteen-acre ancient woodland, is my favourite filming location on this list, simply because it’s so magical and otherworldly!
The unique setting of Puzzlewood has been a filming location for many popular movies and TV-shows including Star Wars, Doctor Who, Merlin, Atlantis and The Huntsman, thanks to its enchanting maze of pathways, mossy rocks, deep stony canyons, bridges and lookouts.
Puzzlewood makes for the perfect day out for the whole family, regardless of whether you’ve seen these films or not – just remember to wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty!
