Film location Kent

Tonbridge Castle is a great location for television and film. The castle has had many uses over its long history, from royal residencies to schools and private accommodation. This means we can offer a flexible shooting location to meet multiple filming briefs.

The location has a mixture of architectural styles and offers:

• enclosed bailey lawn
• Norman gatehouse
• 18th century manor house

The river Medway runs alongside its outer boundary. See our history section to find out more.
