Blenheim Palace features in new Sense and Sensibility film

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 17:02 · Archive

Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire was used as a filming location for the new film adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility.

The new film adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, featuring British actors Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esme Creed-Miles, came to UK cinemas on 25 September. The film was produced by Focus Features and Working Title.

Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire was selected as the filming location for one of the film's central shots: a carriage reflected perfectly in a body of water as it travels across the grounds. Director Georgia Oakley spent the entire five-month duration of filming searching for the ideal setting to realise her vision for this scene. The locations team eventually found the perfect backdrop at Bladon Bridge in the grounds of the palace.

Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has a long history as a filming location. It has served as a backdrop for over 70 film and television productions, including James Bond: Spectre, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, Cinderella, The Young Victoria, The BFG, Gulliver's Travels, Napoleon and Bridgerton.
