<P> Moggach believed the novel was very filmable, "despite it containing no description and being a very unvisual book". To Wright, many other period films had relied on paintings for inspiration rather than photographs, causing them to appear unreal . He thus used "Austen's prose (to give him) many visual references for the people in the story", including using close - up shots of various characters . The filmmakers also changed several scenes to more romantic locales than those in the book . For instance, in the film, Darcy first proposes outdoors in a rainstorm at a building with neoclassical architecture; in the book, this scene takes place inside a parsonage . In the film, his second proposal occurs on the misty moors as dawn breaks; in the book, he and Elizabeth are walking down a country lane in broad daylight . Wright has acknowledged that "there are a lot of period film clichés; some of them are in the film and some are not, but for me it was important to question them". </P> <P> During script development, the crew spent four to five months scouting locations, creating a "constant going back and forth between script and location". The film was shot entirely on location within England on an 11 - week schedule during the 2004 summer . Co-producer Paul Webster noted that "it is quite unusual for a movie this size to be shot entirely on location . Part of Joe (Wright)'s idea was to try to create a reality which allows the actors to relax and feel at one with their environment ." Working under production designer Sarah Greenwood and set decorator Katie Spencer, the crew filmed on seven estates in six different counties . Because "nothing exists in the United Kingdom that is untouched by the twenty - first century", many of the sites required substantial work to make them suitable for filming . Visual effects company Double Negative digitally restored several locations to make them contemporaneous; they eradicated weeds, enhanced gold plating on window frames, and removed anachronisms such as gravel driveways and electricity pylons . Double Negative also developed the typeface used for the film's title sequence . </P> <P> Production staff selected particularly grand - looking residences to better convey the wealth and power of certain characters . Locations included Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, the largest privately held country house in England . Chatsworth and Wilton House in Salisbury stood in for Pemberley . After a search of various sites in England, the moated manor house Groombridge Place in Kent was chosen for Longbourn . Location manager Adam Richards believed Groombridge had an "immense charm" that was "untouched by post-17th Century development". Reflecting Wright's choice of realism, Groombridge's interior was designed to be "shabby chic". Representing Netherfield Park was the late - 18th century site Basildon Park in Berkshire, leading it to close for seven weeks to allow time for filming . Burghley House in Cambridgeshire stood in for Rosings, while the adjacent town of Stamford served as Meryton . Other locations included Haddon Hall (for The Inn at Lambton), the Temple of Apollo and Palladian Bridge of Stourhead (for the Gardens of Rosings), Hunsford (for Collins' parsonage and church) and Peak District (for Elizabeth and the Gardiners' tour). The first dance scenes were shot on a set in a potato warehouse in Lincolnshire with the employment of local townspeople as extras; this was the only set the crew built that was not already in existence . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Wikimedia Commons has media related to Film locations of Pride and Prejudice (2005). </Td> </Tr> </Table>
