Black Park
Black Park Road, Fulmer, Buckinghamshire
Black Park covers some 350 acres of woods surrounding a large lake. Backing onto Pinewood Studios, the park has featured in many television and films, notably many of the Hammer Horror films!
How to get here:
»
Road: M40 - Exit junction 1 (A40/Denham); head south towards Iver Heath on the A412, and then continue on the A412 towards Slough at the roundabout. Take the next right onto Black Park Road, and then the park's car park will be on the right. (3.9 miles, 8m) +
There is a public parking area at the park, £2.00 for all day.

Additional Notes:
»
Though the areas chosen for filming are listed as around the north-eastern side of the lake, the trees in the picnic area near the car park look a better match (there are other trees here that have since been cut down - see the alternative photos). However, there are a lot of tall trees in the park!
