Cowdray castle is being in part renovated to stop it crumbling away, but with Heritage and Lottery Money the place is having a visitor centre added early next year, the Causeway and other buildings made good so should be a good film set for 'creepy' or murder mystery films. Want more of the Wexford films here. The Tudor Walled Garden now reinstated would make a fine set for period garden parties, etc. Midhurst is especially good for film crews because the public parking is FREE, the sport ground is available for crews cabins/actors changing rooms, there are old 16th century cottages to let on short terms, and the location and fast roads are good for logistics. The Spread Eagle has played host over the years to all sorts of meetings with film directors and writers. This is just chat background for you in case you are not familiar with the area.

Hope the Dr Who film qualifies us for an entry in your system.

The landing of Tardis - Ambersham Common - meant to mention this. Have looked at a lot of Tardis pics. There is only one on Google images which coresponds with sandy Ambersham Common.
