The Dark Crystal (1982) was filmed in Twycross, Gordale Scar and Elstree Studios, 3 places named in its Wikipedia article's Development section, in United Kingdom.

Places per Wikipedia's Development section

Wikipedia’s Development section names 3 places. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

Places whose own article says it was shot there

1 place whose own Wikipedia article names this film as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this film’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.
