Behind the Scenes Photos
Below are just a few photos from some of our favorite movies with links to learn more.
Mr Turner
The role of Petworth House and Park, West Sussex, in the life of the artist JMW Turner, made it an obvious location for shooting part of Mike Leigh’s film, Mr. Turner. But it was the unique spirit of the 17th-century mansion that made it a star in its own right.

Game of Thrones
Based on the best-selling novels by George R.R. Martin, the TV show ‘Game of Thrones’ charts the brutal power struggle between seven fictional kingdoms. In reality much of the action took place in Northern Ireland, where National Trust-owned properties provided a perfect backdrop to the drama.
