Filming Location
Black Park is adjacent to Pinewood Film Studios and has been used as an outdoor location for many film and television productions. The woods and lake featured prominently in the Hammer Horror films from the late 1950s to the 1970s, such as Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966). In these films the location was often used to represent Transylvania. The park has also been used in film productions such as the James Bond film Goldfinger, where it was used for a night car chase scene (actually set in Switzerland and featuring Bond's Aston Martin DB5), and the 2006 version of Casino Royale, plus several Carry On films, Wombling Free, Batman, Sleepy Hollow, Bugsy Malone, the Harry Potter film series', Captain America, Robin Hood, Eden Lake, and the Monty Python film And Now For Something Completely Different. In television, Black Park, together with its lake, was used extensively in location filming for the planet 'Alzarius' in the Doctor Who serial Full Circle (1980).
