MOD Film Locations

MOD Film Locations

The Ministry of Defence is one of the UK's largest landowners with some 600,000 acres, consisting of some 4000 built and rural sites. There are more than 45,000 buildings (excluding housing), including barracks, bunkers, naval bases, historic buildings, hangars and warehouses. The rural estate includes areas of outstanding natural beauty such as woods, plains and lakes, many of which are untouched by modern buildings or features.

• The MOD charges a commercial rate for the use of its locations in the same way as any other commercial location provider.
