Locations around Cornwall (and the Isles of Scilly) where films and television programs have been shot
	Cornwall has been a prime location for filming since 1929. Cornwall's rugged rural characteristics, with minimal modernisation, have been ideal for historical films. Some of the Cornish harbours, such as Mevagissey and Charlestown, have required very little adaptation to return them to an 18th century appearance. Some independant television companies used Cornish locations as far back as 1956 and, in 1966, the BBC started using outdoor locations for Doctor Who. The big thrust of television filming in the county came in the 1970s with two major television series; The Onedin Line and Poldark. A further resurgence in television filming came in the mid 1990s with the Wycliffe series. Most recently have been the Doc Martin series, which was a spin-off from the film Saving Grace and Echo Beach, a somewhat controversial weekly soap opera starring Jason Donovan and Martine McCutcheon.

The following Films are in chronological order of the year they were made. (Television programs follow the end of the films)
