In December, the highly acclaimed Netflix series, The Crown, returned to screens across the country. We're excited to say that Woodchester Park featured in series two as the exterior location for both the Duke of Edinburgh's and Prince Charles's school, Gordonstoun.
The biographical drama, which covers Queen Elizabeth II's entire monarchy, covered the late 1950s and early 1960s in series two. During this period the young Prince Charles attended Gordonstoun School in Moray, Scotland.
The film crew chose to use Woodchester Park as a location for filming Gordonstoun. The production made use of the boathouse as a location for the school changing rooms. The lake and the old stables area featured as the location of a PE lesson with a giant obstacle course.
