Ciderpress Estate, GU33

Ciderpress Estate is a 2,000-acre slice of the Hampshire countryside offering an impressive range of landscapes, from productive farmland to wild, untouched ground. The estate blends large-scale arable fields with commercial orchards of apples, cherries and pears, alongside expansive grassland and ancient woodland.

Varied and dramatic in places, shoot in steep wooded valleys, across rolling hills and with long views across open countryside. Areas of wildflower meadows, bluebell woods and quiet ponds add seasonal backdrops, while more remote valley sections feel entirely undisturbed.

Buildings are largely functional and agricultural, including active farmyards from the 1950s and 1970s with a variety of barns and sheds, as well as more modern barns and warehouse-style structures. Away from the main yards, there is a Victorian architect-designed estate village, with terraced houses and cottages offering varied backdrops. The estate also includes isolated and derelict structures, a former brick dairy building now converted to commercial use, and a wartime bomb shelter.

With its scale, variety and authenticity, Ciderpress Estate is well-suited to productions needing expansive rural space, orchards, woodland, or agricultural settings within easy reach of London and major studios.
