Hedingham Castle's famous Norman keep, and its fine Queen Anne house, together with their beautiful grounds, lake and woodland, provide superb locations suitable for a wide variety of filming and photographic shoots.

The historic buildings include the well-preserved 12th century keep consisting of four floors, with a magnificent banqueting hall and minstrels' gallery. Adjacent to the castle is a Queen Anne house with elegant old-fashioned rooms overlooking the lake, and a charming octagonal dovecote built in 1720.

Some of the productions the castle and house have been hired for include the BBC drama "Ivanhoe", various documentaries such as "Made in Britain" with Fred Dibnah, The Shakespeare Theory with Sir Derek Jacobi and History of Britain with Simon Schama.
The Castle was also used for a feature film starring Willem Dafoe & Gina Mckee with Renaissance Films entitled "The Reckoning". Magazine and photo shoots include "Vanity Fair" featuring Alexander McQueen.

Hedingham Castle is on the North Essex / Suffolk border, 60 miles from London.
