Locations around Cornwall (and the Isles of Scilly) that have been used in the making of films

 
  Cornwall has been a prime location for filming since 1899.
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.
 

  The following Films are in chronological order of the year they were made.
(Or the year they were released if the year of filming is not known)
