Filming on Dartmoor
Dartmoor offers stunning locations for filming with wild expanses of open moorland and valleys cut through by beautiful streams and rivers. The landscape has been an inspiration for writers, artists and poets for many years.
Most of Dartmoor is privately owned. If you want to film or take photos for professional or commercial purposes and know who owns the land, you should approach the landowner directly to secure their permission.
Filming cannot proceed without agreements being in place between both parties first. This includes arrangements for location fees. Please note that Dartmoor only allow drone-related commercial filming by production companies in certain circumstances.
