‘The Presence of Love’ Was Filmed in England
Crown Media
Although many Hallmark movies are filmed in Canada, “The Presence of Love” is an exception. This movie was filmed on location in Cornwall, England, according to Crown Media’s press statement. It’s not clear why this is airing on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries as opposed to The Hallmark Channel, since it’s a romance-focused movie that was filmed in a more exotic location.
The movie was filmed in England in December. Mumford shared this video while she was filming in Cornwall and wrote, “Thing that are magic.”
She tagged this photo in Cornwall on December 18, 2021, and wrote about her experience.
Her post referenced how she had her appendix taken out on December 8 in England.
She also shared this stunning photo while filming.
