Where Was the Holiday Filmed in the Uk
If you’re thinking, “Wait, wasn’t Iris supposed to live in a tiny village in the middle of nowhere?”—you’re right. But the filmmakers needed to be close to London for production. So they used Surrey as a stand-in for the fictional “Sherewood.”
Surrey is actually known for being one of the wealthiest counties in the UK. So while Iris’s cottage looks like a modest country retreat, it’s probably worth more than your house. The real cottage owners had to sign agreements to keep fans from making pilgrimages during filming. Spoiler: they failed. Tourists still show up with copies of the DVD.
