There’s no doubt that Cumbria is a stunning place- which is why many film producers and directors have chosen it as the backdrop in their films.
For generations poets, writers, artists and photographers have come to the area searching for inspiration for their latest productions.
But more recently, it's the attention of Hollywood and others in the industry that Cumbria has attracted.
Here's a look at some of the most famous film that were shot in Cumbria.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
GALACTIC: Star Wars: The Force Awakens filmed in our region. Shots were filmed across Derwentwater
Star Wars: The Force Awakens sees the Millennium Falcon flying over Derwentwater, in one of the several aerial fight scenes which feature the Cumbrian landscape as a backdrop.
In the film, Rey arrives on Takodana for the first time and says “I didn’t know there was so much green in the whole galaxy” which no doubt echoes the sentiments of many visitors to the area.
