Wilton House has been welcoming film crews for many years as it offers a wide range of locations for cinema, television and stills photography. The magnificent House, with its splendid state rooms and landscaped parkland, is an ideal backdrop for filming. Extending beyond the limits of the park, the 14,000 acres of Wilton Estate also contain many settings suitable for both filming and stills photography. Films shot here include Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice and, more recently, The Young Victoria.

WILTON HOUSE SALISBURY ([also] Pemberley, Mr. Darcy’s family home)
Built in the 16th Century on a site occupied for nearly 800 years prior by a succession of religious communities, Wilton House Salisbury is the family home of the 18th Earl of Pembroke (whose late father, the 17th Earl, was director/producer Henry Herbert). The uniquely designed Double Cube Room is seen in Pride & Prejudice as the drawing room of Mr. Darcy’s family home, where Lizzie is introduced to Darcy’s sister Georgina.
The Double Cube Room, widely recognized as one of the finest surviving examples of 17th Century Palladianism (inspired by the architect Palladio) in England, houses and showcases a collection of family portraits by the 17th-Century artist Sir Anthony van Dyck. focusfeatures
Fans of Pride and Prejudice, starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen, will recognise Wilton House as Pemberley and the magnificent gardens at Stourhead, where Elizabeth rejects Darcy’s first proposal of marriage

This is Wilton House - the home of the 18th Earl of Pembroke. It's been in his family for over 500 years. It's breathtakingly beautiful, meticulously maintained and absolutely awe-inspiring. It wasn't on our original list of houses to see but I stumbled upon it while shuffling through our Wilshire guide. It was just outside of Salisbury - just a few miles outside of town. SO worth the trip. We took a tour of the house and strolled through the gardens. Cate had a great time at the adventure playground too. It was a wonderful few hours. They filmed parts of Sense and Sensiblity, Young Victoria, Mrs. Brown, Pride and Prejudice (it was Pemberly in the Keira Knightly film) and in a bunch of other things. I highly recommend it! jollyoldengland
The Earl is full of plans for the estate and has a new estate manager starting in a month's time. Most of Wilton's income at present comes from letting the 200-odd cottages and houses on the estate - and he wants to, if possible, extend Wilton's land and property holdings. He also cherishes hopes of buying back some of the family treasures that have been dispersed over the decades - every time he goes to a museum he seems to come across some Pembroke portrait or artefact - most recently a Pembroke suit of armour in New York. He is not particularly keen to increase visitor numbers because they cause a lot of wear and tear on the house, but he wants to have more high-paying events, such as Madonna's wedding anniversary party which was held here, or more films, like the recent Keira Knightley Pride and Prejudice or The Madness of King George, which were made here. He seems confident that he can restore Wilton's fortunes and 'take the estate into the 21st century' - whatever that means.
