Margot Robbie spotted shooting scenes for Wuthering Heights amidst the picturesque Yorkshire Dales.

Rural North Yorkshire is currently basking in its Hollywood spotlight as the Yorkshire Dales National Park welcomes the filming of a new adaptation of the timeless classic, Wuthering Heights. The lead role of Cathy will be played by the talented Margot Robbie, alongside Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff. This production, directed by Emerald Fennell, is set to hit the screens in February 2026. The picturesque locations chosen for filming included Arkengarthdale, Swaledale, and the charming village of Low Row. Margot Robbie, 35, was seen staying at the historic Simonstone Hall near Hawes, where she was spotted in a stunning wedding gown amid the film crew. Despite a minor historical inaccuracy in her dress choice, Robbie was described as "very lovely" during her stay at the hotel, even enjoying a traditional Sunday roast and afternoon tea. The film crew's base camp was set up near Holiday Home Yorkshire in Reeth, adding an exciting buzz to the small village. Residents of the Dales were thrilled to witness the filming taking place at various locations, including Surrender Bridge and the Charles Bathurst Inn in Arkengarthdale. With hopes that this adaptation will spark a renewed interest in the works of the Bronte sisters, the Bronte Parsonage Museum looks forward to welcoming new visitors. Over the years, Wuthering Heights has seen numerous screen adaptations, with high-profile actors such as Laurence Olivier, Tom Hardy, and now Margot Robbie bringing the iconic characters to life. North Yorkshire has proven to be a popular choice for film productions, with Rebel Wilson and Kiefer Sutherland also filming in the area for the upcoming movie, Tinsel Town. As Hollywood continues to grace the stunning landscapes of North Yorkshire, locals and visitors alike are captivated by the magic of the silver screen. This latest adaptation of Wuthering Heights promises to bring a fresh perspective to an enduring literary classic. drama, hollywood, adaptation, filming, locations
