Question: where was the cliff scene in pride and prejudice filmed

title: Pride & Prejudice (2005 film)
text: Citing the year Austen first wrote a draft of the novel , Wright and Moggach changed the period setting from 1813 ( the novel 's publication date ) to the late eighteenth century ; this decision was partly because Wright wanted to highlight the differences within an England influenced by the French Revolution , as he was fascinated that it had `` caused an atmosphere among the British aristocracy of fear '' . Additionally , Wright chose the earlier period because he hated dresses with an empire silhouette , which were popular in the later period . The decision helped make the film visually distinct from other recent Austen adaptations . In comparison to the popular 1995 BBC version , which featured Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle , producer Paul Webster desired to make an adaptation that `` does n't conform to the television drama stereotypes of a perfect clean Regency world '' . Wright and Moggach opted for a `` muddy hem version '' of Longbourn , presenting a more rural setting than in previous adaptations out of a desire to depict the Bennets in `` very close proximity to their rural life '' and to emphasise their relative poverty . While the degree of poverty was criticised by some critics , Wright felt that the `` mess adds to the drama of the predicament that the family were in '' , and helps contrast the Bennets , Darcys , and Bingleys .
