Dudley borough has an impressive array of locations to film that suit your budget.  From the magnificent Grade II listed Himley Hall and Park, where in 1645 during the English Civil War, King Charles I encamped in the grounds on his way to defeat at the Battle of Naseby to the Grade II listed Red House Glass Cone which is also a scheduled ancient monument and one of only four complete cones left in the UK.

​

With several local nature reserves and two national nature reserves –  Saltwells and Wren’s Nest famous for their geology. There is something to offer any potential film location manager. We are friendly, accommodating and flexible to change.
