It also made brief appearances in the Harry Potter films Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and in the spin-off film Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

In the spring of 2012, it was a filming location for the fantasy adventure film Mariah Mundi and the Midas Box.

In 2015, Lacock was used for an episode of the Downton Abbey TV series, portraying a livestock market of the 1920s; Lord Grantham, his family, and some of the staff appeared in this location. Not long after, the village was featured in two episodes of the Wolf Hall series, based on the novels by Hilary Mantel. Scenes for the 2017 film Beauty and the Beast were shot here, and in late 2018, scenes for the film version of Downton Abbey included a royal parade; the film was released in September 2019.]]> 2022-10-11 13:54:38 UTC https://padlet.com/nguyenbaolong4420/y7uc6mcohgq737ci/wish/2335330345 nguyenbaolong4420 https://padlet.com/nguyenbaolong4420/y7uc6mcohgq737ci/wish/2335348041 2022-10-11 14:02:48 UTC https://padlet.com/nguyenbaolong4420/y7uc6mcohgq737ci/wish/2335348041 nguyenbaolong4420 https://padlet.com/nguyenbaolong4420/y7uc6mcohgq737ci/wish/2335351170 Robin Hood's Bay is a small fishing village and a bay located in the North York Moors National Park, 6 miles (10 km) south of Whitby and 15 miles (24 km) north of Scarborough on the coast of North Yorkshire, England.

This quintessential fishing village has a labyrinth of steep, higgledy-piggledy streets with historic cottages and cobbled ginnels (an old northern word for a small alleyway). 

You’ll find traditional fisherman’s pubs and taverns with real ale contrasted with modern delis and coffee houses. 

There are also historic museums, churches, an Old Coastguard Station plus a fantastic stretch of sand to explore at low tide!
