HOW MANY DID YOU GUESS?
1. The ???attack on Takodana??? scene from Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) was filmed on Derwentwater in the Lake District. (So that???s Han Solo, Chewbacca, Finn and Poe Dameron taking on the merciless forces of the ???First Order??? about four miles from the Keswick branch of Greggs.)
2. The epic opening battle scene from Ridley Scott???s Gladiator (2000) was filmed at Bourne Wood in leafy Surrey. There was some worry about the ecological impact ??? but the site has since been used for Harry Potter, Marvel and Transformers films, bringing over ??70 million per year to the Surrey economy.
3. The tearjerking scene in Saving Private Ryan (1998), where an army officer drives through Iowa cornfields to bring Mrs Ryan news of her three dead sons, was actually filmed on Gunsite Road near West Kennet in Wiltshire. The all-American farmhouse was built for the shot and later dismantled.
4. OK, the flying car isn???t real. But both the steam train and the impossibly high viaduct ??? crucial to the appeal of Harry Potter And The Philosopher???s Stone (2001) ??? are a very real part of the scenery at Glenfinnan in the wild West of Scotland. You can also book a steam train ride of your own: just google ???Hogwarts Express???.
5. From The Force Awakens, this first fight between evil Kylo Ren and reluctant jedi Rey launches a power struggle that will define the entire new trilogy. And on what distant planet was it filmed? Puzzlewood in the Forest Of Dean, 100 yards from Coleford Garden Centre.
6. In the opening scene of Prometheus (2012), Noomi Rapace discovers ancient cave paintings showing the way to a distant planetary system, where a deadly terror lurks. These spooky rocks are the ???Old Man Of Storr??? on the Isle Of Skye.
