I was watching The Force Awakens and got to the bit where the Millennium Falcon comes swooping into Takodana. I have a very strong suspicion that I know this skyline, particularly this hills in the mid distance on the left and right.

enter image description here

Is there any official word on it if any real life location was used for this scene or is it simply a huge coincidence that it looks like somewhere I know?

  • @m1gp0z - not really, I've seen that skyline hundreds of times and have climbed almost every hill in that photo. The real fun starts when you try to work out where the lake district stops and the CG begins!
