Welcome to our film friendly farm in Kent.

With over 1,200 acres of countryside, our family-run estate offers a variety of backdrops and locations for photographers, film-makers and production agencies.

We are situated only 17 miles from central London.

Flower fields, tall grasses, rollings hills and farm buildings all available for location hire.

Beautiful landscapes and visions

Throughout the year, our farms (Castle Farm & Lower Austin Lodge Farm) offer acres of farmland, wild flowers, woodlands, hop gardens, water meadows, footpaths and farm tracks, suitable for fashion shoots, film locations, advertising backdrops and editorial photography.

Traditional farm buildings are mixed with abandoned sheds and barns, picturesque cottages, and an impressive free-standing threshing barn.

We are based in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the heart of The Garden of England – yet less than 50 minutes drive or 40 minutes by train from central London.
