Where was Pride and Prejudice filmed? Mostly in real English country houses, and you can visit many of them. Lyme Park in Cheshire played Mr Darcy’s Pemberley in the 1995 BBC series, Chatsworth House in Derbyshire took the role in the 2005 film, and Netflix’s new version, out on 3 December 2026, has turned Harewood House in West Yorkshire into Pemberley.
Below are the Pride and Prejudice filming locations for all three versions, side by side: which houses played Pemberley, Longbourn, Netherfield and Rosings, where the famous lake and rain scenes were shot, what’s confirmed so far for Netflix, and which places you can actually go and see.
Quick look
The short version, before we dig into every house.
- Pemberley, three times. Lyme Park in Cheshire for 1995, Chatsworth House in Derbyshire for 2005 and Harewood House in West Yorkshire for Netflix in 2026.
- The lake scene. Colin Firth’s dip was filmed at Lyme Park, but the underwater shots were done in a tank at Ealing Studios.
- The proposal in the rain. The 2005 film shot it at the Temple of Apollo at Stourhead in Wiltshire.
- Netflix so far. Harewood as Pemberley, plus Rye in East Sussex, the Kent coast and the Peak District. More once the series is out.
- Can you visit? Mostly, yes. Six of these places are National Trust, and Chatsworth even shows off the Darcy bust from the 2005 film.

Mr Darcy’s many homes
Where is Mr Darcy’s house? Pemberley in every version
Pemberley isn’t a real house. Austen put Mr Darcy’s estate in Derbyshire, so when people ask about the Pride and Prejudice house, they usually mean whichever stately home played Pemberley.
Lyme Park
Cheshire
The outside of Pemberley and the lake Colin Firth walks out of. The interiors were filmed at Sudbury Hall in Derbyshire. Both belong to the National Trust.
Chatsworth House
Derbyshire
Pemberley inside and out, including the Painted Hall staircase and the Sculpture Gallery. More interiors were shot at Wilton House in Wiltshire.
Harewood House
West Yorkshire
Netflix’s new Pemberley, built between 1759 and 1771. This time Yorkshire stands in for Darcy’s Derbyshire.
There’s a neat twist with Chatsworth. Austen names it in the novel itself, as one of the estates Elizabeth visits on her tour of Derbyshire before she reaches Pemberley, and Chatsworth says she may have based Pemberley on it. So in 2005, a real house mentioned in the book ended up playing the fictional one.
Harewood brings a history of its own. The Lascelles family has owned the estate since 1738, when it was bought with money made in the West Indies, including from slavery, The Conversation notes. Today’s family are co-founders of the Heirs of Slavery campaign group.

Where did they film the lake scene in Pride and Prejudice?
The lake scene, where Colin Firth’s Darcy dives in at Pemberley and then runs into Elizabeth soaking wet, was filmed at Lyme Park in Cheshire. The shots of him underwater weren’t filmed in the lake at all. They were done in a tank at Ealing Studios in west London. Lyme Park is looked after by the National Trust, so you can still stand by the same water.
