Wells Cathedral Chapter House steps appeared in the first Robin of Sherwood (circa 1978) as the inside of Nottingham Castle. The courtyard of Norringham Castle is Alnwick Castel, so in the scene Robin (Michael Praed) is escaping from the dungeons for the very first time and he's being chased by Guisbourne and his guards along the curtain wall of Alnwick. Robin runs through a door in a guard tower and - by magic - he's on the chapter house steps at Wells. He runs up the steps, through a heavy wooden door and into Marian's chamber(their first meeting and probably a studio set).
Alnwick was also been used for the Costner Robin Hood and for Harry Potter and many more things. It seems to crop up regularly - as does Wells.
Various parts of Toronto are also really easy to spot in Blood Ties, the telly series from the Tanya Huff books. Of course the CN tower is a dead giveaway. But apparently a lot of films that are supposed to be New York are filmed in Toronto.
