Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Highclere Castle as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Eyes Wide Shut 1999
“Three separate estates were used for these scenes: Mentmore Towers in Buckinghamshire served as the exterior, while interior sequences were shot in Elveden Hall in Suffolk, and Highclere Castle in Hampshire.” Wikipedia
Downton Abbey 2019

Named here by Highclere Castle’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Highclere Castle, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

Downton Abbey 2010–2015

“The castle was used as the main filming location for the ITV/PBS drama series Downton Abbey, which brought the castle international fame.” Wikipedia
