Shere and the surrounding area of Shere offer a perfect pallet for art, whether photography, painting or, indeed, filming.

The photographs below are ones taken by my husband in 2006, during the filming of the heart warming picture The Holiday, starring Jude Law, Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet and Jack Black. The cottage is the exterior built built in a local field, specifically for the film, then dismantled. That white stuff – not the real thing as you can see, artificial snow being sprayed to set the wintry scene. Other productions include Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and Foyle’s War.

The BBC have also recently re-visited to film the second Professor Branestawm Christmas feature, starry Harry Hill. Below is one of the contraptions being used. It looks great fun.
