The film "28 Years Later" was primarily filmed in the north of England, particularly in the regions of Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, North Yorkshire, and Somerset. Key filming locations include:
- Holy Island of Lindisfarne in Northumberland, which serves as the isolated island refuge in the film.
- Cheddar Gorge in Somerset, known for the climax scenes.
- Newcastle-upon-Tyne in Tyne & Wear.
- Kielder Forest near Hexham.
- Rothbury village and Blaeberry Hill in Northumberland.
- Plankey Mill Farm near Langley and Bardon Mill in Northumberland.
- Other places in North Yorkshire such as Melsonby, Ripon, Fountains Abbey, Aysgarth Falls, and Redmire.
Holy Island (Lindisfarne) is notable for its tidal causeway, which is an important plot element, and it is where the main characters reside on the island. The filming took advantage of the dramatic natural settings, historic landmarks, and eerie landscapes of these areas to create the post-apocalyptic world shown in the movie.
