Filming in Cornwall? Why Agile Location Catering is Your Secret Weapon
Cornwall's dramatic coastlines, wild moors, and ancient woodlands make it one of the UK's most desirable filming locations. From Poldark to House of the Dragon, the South West offers backdrops you cannot get anywhere else. But as any Location Manager knows, the very landscape that looks great on camera is a nightmare for logistics.
