Where was The Gorge filmed? The tower and all the locations

The beach at the beginning of the movie, where Levi Kane is exercising his poetry skills, was filmed at Rosie’s Dog Beach on the Belmont Shore of Long Beach, California.

The island in the background is Island Chaffee, an artificial island designed to extract oil.

Drasa meets her father in a coastal cemetery in Pervalka, Lithuania, which was actually filmed at St. Tudno's Church located on the Great Orme headland in Llandudno, in the north of Wales.

The lake with a greenish-blue hue is Lovatnet Lake, located near Stryn in Vestland County, Norway.

Lovatnet is fed by meltwater from the impressive surrounding glaciers.

The mountainous landscapes surrounding the gorge were taken from the spectacular 60-kilometer-long Romsdalen Valley in western Norway near Åndalsnes.

The valley is carved by the Rauma River and flanked by the Romsdalsalpene mountains, including and the renowned Trollveggen (Troll Wall), the highest vertical rock face in Europe, with a sheer drop of approximately 3,600 feet (1,100 meters).

However, the close-up scenes with the actors in the forest around the towers were filmed at Bourne Wood in Surrey, England.

A remarkable number of major productions have been filmed here, including the Marvel movies, the Harry Potter films, and Gladiator.

More recently, Napoleon (2024) featured the Battle of Austerlitz, and the largest battle scene in House of the Dragon was also shot here.

All the studio work, including the tower sets and the sequences inside the valley, was filmed at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, England.

Darklake agent, Bartholomew (played by Sigourney Weaver) seems to be in Baku, Azerbaijan.

This is because her desk has panoramic views of the iconic Flame Towers, a trio of skyscrapers completed in 2012 that symbolize the nation's moniker, 'The Land of Fire.'

The complex, where the tallest tower stands at 597 feet (182 meters), features striking LED-illuminated facades with dynamic visuals.

We don't see much of it in the movie, but the cascade is the Low Force Waterfall on the River Tees in Teesdale, County Durham, in the north of England.

Located near the Bowlees Visitor Centre, the area is very easy to visit from the car park, making it a great stop if you are doing a road trip across the North Pennines.

The cliff with the Cross of Lorraine in Èze, France, was actually filmed in California.

The cross was CGI'd into a cliff between Westward Beach and Pirate's Cove Beach in Point Dume, Malibu.

The climactic scene in the 1968 film Planet of the Apes, in which the ruins of the Statue of Liberty are discovered, was filmed just below this location.

The restaurant is Geoffrey's Malibu, a famous and prestigious oceanfront restaurant, located at 27400 Pacific Coast Highway.
