For Caractacus Potts’ charming workshop and home, the production team used Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire for the interior sets. But you want the real-life spot? Head to Cobham, Surrey. The Potts family home was filmed at a private residence called “Park House,” located near the Cobham village.
The house itself hasn’t changed much, so driving by feels like stepping into the film. Just remember: it’s a private home, so be respectful. No, you cannot honk like the car’s horn.
A Field of Pure Nostalgia
Remember the big, open meadow where Chitty dances and sings “Hushabye Mountain”? That’s Gordale Scar in the Yorkshire Dales, though the specific meadow was a location near Malham Tarn. It’s wild, craggy, and utterly British.
You can hike there today, and the limestone pavement looks exactly like it did in 1968. Bring a picnic. It’s the perfect spot to pretend you’re about to drive off a cliff—but maybe don’t actually try that.
