The 2025 live-action film "How to Train Your Dragon" was filmed primarily in Northern Ireland, with additional filming locations including the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Los Angeles, California. Key filming locations in Northern Ireland included:
- Belfast, where studio work took place at Titanic Studios and Belfast Harbour Studios
- Tollymore Forest Park in County Down
- Dunseverick Castle
- Murlough Bay
- Giant's Causeway
The Faroe Islands contributed dramatic coastal landscapes, particularly Tindhólmur Islet, which served as the inspiration for the fictional Isle of Berk. Iceland's volcanic landscapes, glaciers, and black sand beaches were used for some exterior flying shots. Additional filming was done in Los Angeles for effects-heavy shots. This mix of Northern Irish rugged landscapes, the Faroe Islands' raw natural beauty, and Iceland's dramatic scenery provided a rich and authentic Viking-era setting for the film.
