Open Lands is a unique shoot location on the Kent coast, offering a wide variety of natural landscapes within a single, easily accessible location.
The landscape includes a striking bright blue lake, alongside a silver birch plantation, rough grassland, open parkland and expansive views across the surrounding countryside towards the coast. A shallow valley, mature woodland and a network of wide tracks provide a range of backdrops, while 2.5 miles of private tarmac roads provides excellent car driving scenes, and also excellent vehicle access throughout the 200+ acre site.
Open Lands also benefits from a contemporary large crew building with modern facilities, making it particularly well suited to productions looking for large, flexible outdoor spaces with practical infrastructure already in place.
