Where Is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Filmed
For Caractacus Potts’ charming workshop and home, the production team used Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire for the interior sets. But you want the real-life spot? Head to Cobham, Surrey. The Potts family home was filmed at a private residence called “Park House,” located near the Cobham village.
The house itself hasn’t changed much, so driving by feels like stepping into the film. Just remember: it’s a private home, so be respectful. No, you cannot honk like the car’s horn.
A Field of Pure Nostalgia
Remember the big, open meadow where Chitty dances and sings “Hushabye Mountain”? That’s Gordale Scar in the Yorkshire Dales, though the specific meadow was a location near Malham Tarn. It’s wild, craggy, and utterly British.
You can hike there today, and the limestone pavement looks exactly like it did in 1968. Bring a picnic. It’s the perfect spot to pretend you’re about to drive off a cliff—but maybe don’t actually try that.
