British period drama attractions and tours

From grand stately homes to idyllic countryside villages and ruggedly handsome landscapes, the UK has long been the perfect setting for capturing the elegance and drama of historical storytelling.

Bridgerton fans can walk in the footsteps of the Ton at Old Royal Naval College, or explore real-life Regency drama settings in the Georgian City of Bath. For Downton Abbey enthusiasts wondering “Where was Downton Abbey filmed?”, renowned locations like Highclere Castle and Alnwick Castle await exploration. You can also wander the halls of the beautiful Blenheim Palace, used as a backdrop for many period dramas in the past.

The City of Bath’s Georgian architecture has been the backdrop of many period dramas including Jane Austen’s Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility – in fact, it was also once home to Jane Austen herself, with the Jane Austen Centre in Bath being a must-see attraction for her fans.

Critically-acclaimed British TV series experiences

The UK’s distinctive and diverse scenery has set the stage for many critically-acclaimed TV series over the years. From the dramatic, medieval-inspired settings of Game of Thrones to the gritty streets of Peaky Blinders and the time-traveling adventures of Doctor Who, Britain’s diverse filming locations continue to captivate audiences and inspire unforgettable journeys.

For Game of Thrones fans, we recommend exploring Northern Ireland, where you’ll find a treasure trove of famed sites such as the Dark Hedges (the Kingsroad) and Dunluce Castle (Pyke Castle of House Greyjoy). Mega fans can head to the Game of Thrones Studio Tour to explore sets, props and costumes from the show.

Fans of Doctor Who or Peaky Blinders can enjoy tours of London and Liverpool respectively, and discover sets and scenes around the cities with a friendly show expert.

Whether you’re seeking sets from epic fantasy, gripping drama, or sci-fi escapades, the UK invites you to step into the worlds of your favourite shows.
