With its pure white sand, turquoise waters and dark looming cliffs, Kynance made the perfect setting for one of the beaches in the story’s mysterious 'Soldier Island'. It featured in the climactic final confrontation between characters Vera Claythorne (Maeve Dermody) and Philip Lombard (Aidan Turner).
The crew also filmed scenes at Mullion Cove, which saw 10 members of the cast setting off by boat to meet their fates on ‘Soldier Island’. The scene of the boat’s arrival and its passengers’ first view of the house was filmed just off the coast on Mullion Island. Since there are no buildings on Mullion Island, the house was created using a 3D model, scaled down to make the island look bigger.
July is always a busy month at our places, and the Lizard team worked hard to ensure that visitors were not disappointed when they arrived at the beaches that were used in the filming. Most visitors were excited by the sight of the large film unit and said the filming had added to their experience of being there.
