Shere, England

Sometimes you just want to get away from it all for Christmas, like the character of Amanda (played by Cameron Diaz) in 2006’s The Holiday. And she couldn’t have picked a more picture-perfect place to visit than this village in Surrey, southwest of London. Sadly, the cottage where Amanda stays was actually just a set built for the film, but you can visit the lovely country estate, Cornwell Manor, where she goofs off in the gardens with Jude Law (the interior shots of their lunch date were filmed elsewhere). Additional village scenes were shot in Godalming, also in Surrey.
