Film Location

Deepdale Farm is an arable farm of 650 acres, with marshes, woodland, undulating hills & fields on the beautiful North Norfolk Coast.  This diversified farm offers a wide range of film location types, for both film & photography shoots, including three types of farming land, various crops, amazing views, woodland, backpackers hostel, campsite, visitor information centre, farm workshops, old style cottages, retail site with shops & cafe, and much more.  These can all be used for filming by arrangement.  This location is between Hunstanton & Wells-next-the-Sea on the A149 coast road, approximately 120 miles from Central London.

The biggest movie to be filmed here was ‘Die Another Day‘ the James Bond 007 film, where the farm was made to look like rice paddies in South Korea.

Deepdale Farm has been used for many other filming and photographic shoots. These include Dangerfield and All the King’s Men, both BBC productions, various wildlife films and advertising stills.

An arable farm of 650 acres, with very few power lines and some interesting slopes. Good traditional hedges, lanes and a range of woods.  Flot mown grass field, straw, logs, rough timber and coppicing.  Part of the farm is flat land with water filled ditches and springs. The current cropping includes wheat, barley, sugar beet, potatoes, carrots as well as grassland.

The diverse areas of the farm are wonderful for hide & seek, mystery, camp fires, bushcraft survival training, mud fights, off road driving and all manner of other film themes and activities.

There are also more modern barns that can be used for construction, inside studio and storage. Large concreted areas for hard standing of equipment.
