- James Bond’s Skyfall film locations revealed at Hankley Common, Surrey. My film takes you on a tour around the stunning Hankley Common in search of the locations featured in the 2012 Daniel Craig Bond movie Skyfall. Bond is now appearing in the 25th Bond film No Time to Die.
Skyfall was arguably Daniel Craig’s best bond film, in which Bond back from the dead helped M, when MI6 and it’s agents came under attack from a mysterious enemy. Bond and M are forced to go off grid and return to Bond’s ancestral home in Scotland for a thrilling showdown. Filmmakers used Hankley Common extensively to double for Bond’s Scotland ancestral home. The crew built the Skyfall entrance, lodge and chapel here. My film takes you on a tour of the common and shows you where these scenes were filmed.
Actors present during the filming on Hankley Common included Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Javier Bardem and Albert Finney. Scenes featuring Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 were also filmed on Hankley Common. The assault on Skyfall Lodge by Raoul Silva played by Javier Bardem and his henchmen was filmed at Hankley Common, included an Augusta Westland AW101 helicopter. The special effects team then had the task of destroying the Lodge built at Hankley Common with explosives to create a massive explosion. Interior filming was completed at Pinewood Studios.
Hankley Common is a Ministry of Defence training ground and is also a special area of conservation and scientific interest, providing a haven for birds and wildlife. The army hold 3-4 intense training days per year at the common so it is worth checking the website before you go. The common is constantly in use, so if there are excercises going on, follow the signs stick to the paths and allow respectful distance.
The terrain can be undulating and boggy and due to military use it is advisable to stick to the paths. Good walking shoes are advised. There are porta-loo toilets dotted about but no refreshments on site. The Common has some stunning scenery and traces of World War 2 history. How to find Hankley Common: Hankley Common, Thursley Rd, Elstead, Godalming GU8 6LW. The main car park can be accessed from a turning off Thursley Road at a bend in the road.
The road has pot-holes so drive carefully.

Fantastic, informative and well edited video. Love it. Superb work. 🙂
Great video. Just been camping up Glen Etive where the famous layby is where Bond and M stopped. Also just further along that road, Ian Flemings old house, which may or may not have been the inspiration for Skyfall, I'm not sure. But it's not too different.
Went down there today. You really feel like you're in the highlands
What a brilliant video.
Great vid mate thanks for sharing 🙌🏻
Great video, very interesting, thanks for uploading.
Went there today and the damp, dark weather was very Skyfall
Great video but a bizarre song choice used at the Skyfall entrance.
Did you find any relics of the set while out there? Great video by the way!
Thank you. Unfortunately no. The film crew do a pretty good clean up job and several years had elapsed since filming. We did spot some small items but these may have related to later filming or the ongoing military training on the common. But the landscape and trees can still be matched to shots in Skyfall as you can see in my film.
Awesome video! I’m sad that the estate wasn’t a real building. I always through it was a real historic place!
Excellent thanks
Excellent video. One small error though. 13mins 45secs into video you have stunt coordinator 'Gay Powell' rather than 'Gary Powell'.
Hi Ray, Many thanks for your feedback and glad you enjoyed the film. Apologies for the typo.
No reason for apology. Living in these times when people get taken to court just for calling someone names, I'd wouldn't want you to be sued for slander, defemation of character, misrepresentation, etc., when it was an obvious typo.
That's a beer you owe me! :)
Great video. What are the co ordinates for the house please ?
Hi, Many thanks. There are some map references on a map overlay that appears during the film.
Great video but the music is too bizarre, at least at the beginning with Blood Red Sun. Who is approving this stuff? Go back and fix it with something more appropriate, then repost. Thanks.
And did you know that the scene where Bond is waiting in the crowd at the arrival hall at Shanghai airport is actually inside one of the big grandstands at Ascot race course. Apparently the film production was going a little over budget so using Ascot , near to Pinewood, saved some monies.
I really think that fictional characters and violence is the way to make people feel better, always this franchise is almost the same, cars race, snow killing race, diving with sharks and plenty of suites with low profile characters, mostly I haven’t seen a good original James 007. Only actors
they also filmed teh hovercraft chase there from teh Perice Brosman bond film there to which was meant to be teh Korean DMZ lol
Not particularly interesting. Just some nature. No iconic places.
