Talk:Filming Locations

Filming Locations: Why this page ?

I have seen many web pages which claim to have identified the filming locations used in the making of the Princess Bride, and many of them are full of inaccuracies. I hope to both list the actual locations used and offer photographic evidence that I have found the places, even if I have not visited the locations myself. The idea is to help people with an intrest in the film to visit the locations.

Spurious claims I have seen are that The Princess Bride was filmed on Higer Tor in Derbyshire and Higger Tor in England, on the Scottish border. Higger Tor is in fact part of Sheffield in South Yorkshire. It only appears on the horizon in shots from Carl Wark. Other sites claim that the fight scene between Westley and the giant was filmed at Stanton, or on other web pages at Fox House, both in Derbyshire. Neither is correct. The fight scene was filmed at Robin Hood's Stride. I have seen claims that filming took place at Malham Cove in North Yorkshire when the real location was Lathkill Dale. The web is full of unsubstantiated claims about where The Princess Bride was filmed.

Please do help identify the locations and contribute to this page, but PLEASE upload a photograph as evidence so that it can be compared to the film.

Thanks.
