If you're looking for a day trip to embark on spring and summer, these eight locations, which are frequently featured in TV shows and movies, may be a good option. On behalf of Pergolux UK, Sam Stevens said in the garden of Pergola's retailer “the UK is home to stunning architecture and gardens.” Revealing eight locations across the UK that were “backgrounds of popular TV series and films,” Sam said, “The good news is that you can visit many of these places.”
Sam teased: “Game of Thrones, Bridgeton, Batman and Cinderella are not only great opportunities to be set in stunning British gardens or featured scenes, and to see the stunning scenery and greenery, but also perfect opportunities to fully immerse yourself in the world of television and film.”

Buckinghamshire's Cliveden House is famous for its appearances in Cinderella (2015), Thunderbirds (2004), and Sherlock Holmes (2009), Sam said.
