Where is Snow White and the Huntsman filmed? 

According to a report by Atlas of Wonders, the 2012 fantasy film was majorly shot in the UK, and the second part of the movie was also filmed there. The Bourne Woods, on the outskirts of London, has been used as a location for the filming of the movie, and many films, television series, as well as music videos, have also been shot there. 

The movie was also shot at Blea Tarn, boasting all the colours of the Lake District. While the majority of the shooting locations were in Britain, some of the scenes were shot in Scotland as well. The Isle of Sky was used as a location for its beautiful hills and mountains. The scenes that showed the dark forest were filmed in Burnham Beeches and in Buckinghamshire.

The beach scenes were predominantly filmed in Pembrokeshire, on the Marloes Sands beach near the village of Marloes. Though the beach was not closed to the public during filming, as filming progressed, certain parts were advised to be off-limits. A computer-generated castle was set on nearby Gateholm island. 

The film's location manager Bill Darby stated that Marloes Sands came top of the list due to its dramatic jagged rock formations, as they stand proud out of the sand at low tide. He added that getting to the beach was the biggest challenge. Pembrokeshire Coast National Park maintains 500 meters of footpaths for everyday use, but this wasn’t enough for the amount of crew, equipment, and props that the production needed to get onto the sand. To access the beach, the crew had to build 150 feet of access ramps for 150 horses and the shooting equipment.
