About this location

Ashdown Forest is an ancient area of open heathland occupying the highest sandy ridge-top of the High Weald National Landscape. Rising to an elevation of 732 feet (223 m) above sea level, its heights provide expansive vistas across the heavily wooded hills of the Weald to the chalk escarpments of the North Downs and South Downs on the horizon.. The natural landscape in Sussex has provided dramatic scenery for film and television productions requiring wide open exteriors. Varied terrain and seasonal light conditions suit a range of dramatic contexts. Location managers planning UK shoots will find Ashdown Forest on Wikidata’s registry of documented filming locations, with a track record that spans multiple genres. Permit requirements, day rates, and exclusivity windows should be confirmed directly with the venue or relevant public body before committing to schedule.
