Believing him to be dead, she meets and marries John Rolfe (Christian Bale).

Locations used for this production:

  • Hatfield House >
    The splendour of The Marble Hall made a perfect backdrop for the scene where Pocahontas is presented to the King and Queen. The house and a number of garden scenes were also filmed on the Hatfield Estate. In one scene Captain John Smith arrives on horseback via the deer park at the rear entrance to the house in a bid to see Pocahontas again. They take a walk in the gardens stopping at a summer house with the magnificence of the house in the distance. Another scene finds Pocahontas playing with her young son in the grounds with the Old Palace as a backdrop prior to the decision to return to Virginia.
