Farms in Hertfordshire for Filming and Photoshoots

Filming on a farm in Hertfordshire provides endless opportunities with its huge variety of backdrops and settings; all unique in their own way. From complete ‘step back in time’ farmyards to graffiti ridden houses, from impressive country gardens to grass airstrips, there is an endless array of shoot opportunities, both inside and out. Filming on a farm can transport you to another era or even a different country, there’s so much potential to be had.

With the majority of the county’s undeveloped land remaining as rural farmland, there’s plenty of options on offer for outdoor filming, making the hunt for your ideal countryside setting as simple and easy as possible. The county also provides well wooded areas too within its diverse landscape; with large areas of well-established woodland available to hire both at our Hitch Farm and Clay Pit Wood locations.

We are proud to have worked alongside countless trusted and award-winning clients, sourcing film locations for feature films, TV dramas, short films, music promotion videos, and TV commercials.

One of our most popular filming locations is the exclusive Cherry Farm, previously hosting TV commercial clients including Morrisons and Gala Bingo, TV dramas including Downton Abbey and Silent Witness, as well as a range of short films and music promos eg Jack Savoretti. Home to two ancient, preserved farmyards just 300 metres from one another, there’s no place quite like it. Featuring a charming selection of traditional, unspoilt farm buildings and houses just a stone’s throw away from the M25, it makes stepping back to a untainted bygone era completely possible, all within a short distance from London.

Sitting inside the M25, Merula Farm and Corn Farm are large working farm locations when looking to film close to London. The farms expands across thousands of acres providing huge scope of landscapes to choose from including golden wheat and silvery rye fields, grassland and pretty backwater spots too.

Many of our farms in Hertfordshire find themselves within short distances of major film studios in particular Leavesden Studios and Elstree Studios, making them great satellite shoot locations, unit bases, storage solutions or set build spaces. Cherry Farm, Chess Farm and Knoll Farm are all located within a 15 minute drive of Leavesden Studio. Corn Farm and Animal Farm are approximately a 10 minute drive from Elstree studio.
