A forest in Gloucestershire has become a magnet for movie-makers, and a surge in tourism to the area is predicted.
J.J. Abrams shot some key scenes from the latest Star Wars movie in Puzzlewood in the Forest of Dean.
They were also the inspiration for Tolkien's enchanted woods in the Lord Of The Rings, and have also been used in Harry Potter, as well as a number of television shows.
Maureen McAllister, from Wye Valley and Forest of Dean Tourism, says the whole area has benefited and will continue to do so now filming has finished - thanks to fans making the journey to see where Star Wars was shot.
"When the film crews are here, they're obviously staying and spending money in the local economy and they're here for a long time, they don't just come here once, they come to check it out and then they'll come back," she said.
"They'll spend a lot of time with us and once we actually get onto the big screen - that's when we see the benefit because people say 'where's that?'"
Secrecy was paramount during the filming of Star Wars, but afterwards Abrams ensured Puzzlewood was part of its legacy, praising the UK as a filming destination when he wrote to the cast and crew thanking them for their efforts.
At the premiere of the movie, he told Sky News he'd happily come back.
"There are some amazing locations, most of the orginal films were shot here, it was something that was already set up before I even got involved and I was nervous because I'd never shot an entire film out of the United States, but it was the absolute greatest experience," he said.
Over the last couple of years, nearly 2,000 productions have been shot in the UK, encouraged by the huge number of locations available as well as some attractive tax breaks.
Tim Holt, from Visit England, says screen tourism has contributed millions to the economy, it encourages visitors from abroad to come over here and to get out of London and explore the rest of the country.
"We've had some amazing movies - James Bond, Star Wars and Harry Potter. All these blockbusters help generate about £140m from visitors and over the last couple of years there's been an increase in the number of productions by 35%," he said.
The Wye Valley and Forest of Dean tourist board has set up a 'star track' walk through the woods to its famous filming locations, which they predict will boost visitor revenue by as much as £35m over the next three years.
