North Devon Film Locations

North Devon

England's Adventure Coast

The ultimate natural film location

North Devon has been a favourite location for Film, TV and Music makers for many decades. The unspoilt natural wild Moorland beauty, golden beaches and islands are a great draw. However, the ability to mix the ocean, wildlife and unspoilt towns and villages, makes the region sought after. Below are a few of the amazing films, videos and photo shoots that have taken place here. However this doesn’t cover the array of films and photo shoots that cover the surf, waters and climate that show off the region's diversity.
