Film Location
13th century Crook Hall is one of the oldest inhabited houses in Durham City; it is a jumble of buildings reflecting its historical development. Surrounding the Hall are 6 acres of romantic garden rooms, such as the Cathedral Garden and the Secret Walled Garden. Durham’s bustling market place is a short walk away; visitors describe the gardens as a ‘peaceful oasis’. A fact that possibly led William Wordsworth and John Ruskin to visit for quiet contemplation!
The venue has been used in the past by:
- Channel 4: ‘The Uninvited Guest’
- BBC: ‘The Plague’
- A music video recording
- BBC: ‘Gardeners World’
- Local BBC and Independent networks
- Also featured in a networked American film featuring Gardens of England
An ideal setting for a film location.
