EIGHT towns and villages in Devon have starring roles in a new film being released in cinemas this week.
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry stars Jim Broadbent and Penelope Wilton, and arrives in local cinemas on April 28.
Based on the best-selling book by Rachel Joyce, it tells the story of one man’s pilgrimage from Kingsbridge to Berwick-upon-Tweed, and although the cast and crew did not actually walk the whole way, they did visit a number of locations in Devon. Starting in Harold’s home town of Kingsbridge, the “pilgrimage” takes in Loddiswell, South Brent, Higher Dean, Buckfast, Exeter, Tiverton and Appledore.
The book was long-listed for the Man Booker Prize, won the UK National Book Award for the New Writer of the Year and was the UK’s bestselling book from a new novelist in 2021. It has sold over six million copies worldwide.
