Below are some still pictures from the Broughton Castle video.

Broughton Castle has been selected for a wide range of film shoots, including feature films, TV dramas, and TV commercials as well as fashion and other photo shoots.

It is an ideal film location being only just over one hour’s drive from West London. Exteriors and interiors provide a range of different location opportunities – unspoiled parkland, gatehouse, moat, battlements, fortified manor house/castle, chapel, great hall, picture gallery, library, dining room, armor, and wonderful gardens including the formal Ladies’ Garden. A range of styles is apparent – medieval, Tudor / Elizabethan, and some gothic interiors.
