Fourwinds Estate, PL8

Fourwinds Estate spans over 5,000 acres of dramatic South Devon countryside, where rolling pastures meet wildflower meadows, orchards, and the tidal beauty of the estuary. At the estate’s heart sits a Grade II listed 18th-century residence surrounded by formal gardens, woodland pockets, and wide pastoral views.

With exclusive access to both banks of the estuary, including four sandy beaches (one of which can be fully closed for filming), the estate offers exceptional coastal scenery alongside inland scale. Productions can make use of valley roads, elevated drives with sweeping views, and a mix of historic and characterful buildings across the land.

From the tea houses on the beach to cottages dotted about, including coastguard cottages overlooking the water, there’s also a mill house and a gamekeeper’s cottage in the woods.  Fourwinds combines scale, history, and natural variety, enriched further with derelict barns and woodland areas.

With its rare combination of beaches, historic architecture, and vast green landscapes, Fourwinds Estate is an extraordinary location with plenty to suit all kinds of productions –  from feature films to commercials, TV dramas, and stills.
