Filming British romance is all about location

Readers and audiences have been falling in love with British romance stories for centuries. Books by authors like the Brontë sisters and Jane Austen still fly off the shelves, and they’ve been adapted for the big and small screen dozens of times.

But how do great filmmakers adapt 19th-century writing into epic cinema? It’s all about the location.

From endless moors to massive estates, Britain plays a leading role in two of its biggest cultural exports: Wuthering Heights and Pride and Prejudice.

In this video, we take a tour of Britain’s natural landscapes and historic architecture to find out what makes these settings so transportive, elevating Britain to a starring role in romantic film adaptations.
