Filming in the West Midlands
The West Midlands region covers six counties in the heart of England: Birmingham and The Black Country, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire. The region’s capital, Birmingham, is 80 minutes from London, has excellent road, rail and air links and is easy to reach from any part of the UK.
The West Midlands has a thriving economy as well as a prestigious historical heritage. The diverse locations include the bleak, windswept Staffordshire Moorlands; the Tudor villages of Herefordshire; the manufacturing heartland of the West Midlands, home of the Industrial Revolution; the rolling hills of Shropshire; and the historical town of Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare. From suburban sprawls and modern cities, prestigious mansions and regal castles, to majestic countryside and exquisite scenery, the West Midlands can offer you everything you need for filming.
