You’re not alone. Whether it’s stepping into the drawing room at Downton Abbey, solving a mystery on Baker Street, or dodging dragons in Wales, film and TV locations have a way of making us wish we lived in the worlds we see on screen.

The good news? You can step into those worlds—without needing a Time-Turner, a TARDIS, or a dragon of your own. (Sorry, House of the Dragon fans.)

Our Behind the Screen: England & Wales Edition tour is your all-access pass to some of the most famous filming locations across the UK. Ten days. Nine nights. Countless movie moments waiting to be re-lived (but more on that later). 

The Rise of Screen Tourism: Because Normal Vacations Are Boring

Once upon a time, people traveled for history, nature, or (ugh) relaxation. But now? More and more travelers are choosing their destinations based on their favorite films and TV shows. Why sip a cocktail on a beach when you can stand in the exact spot where Colin Firth brooded as Mr. Darcy?

England and Wales have played starring roles in everything from magical fantasy worlds to gritty period dramas, making them the perfect playground for movie and TV fans.

VisitBritain’s Must-See Film Locations: Because We’re Not the Only Ones Who Think This Is Cool

If you’re planning a DIY film-inspired getaway, VisitBritain has some recommendations—many of which are already on our tour! Here’s a sneak peek:

🎥 Raglan Castle (Monmouthshire)– BBC's Merlin didn't use a wand, but certainly made a lot of screen magic at Raglan Castle. This 15th century ruin was featured multiple times in the series and is an excellent example of Welsh castle architecture. 

🎥 Lacock Abbey (Wiltshire) – The abbey served as Hogwarts’ interiors, while the nearby village popped up in Downton Abbey, The Hollow Crown, and Pride & Prejudice. Basically, if you’re a fan of British period dramas, you’ll want to be here.

🎥 Highclere Castle (Hampshire) – Downton Abbey fans, this one’s for you. The real-life Downton estate is just as grand in person, and yes, you can walk through the same halls as Lady Mary (with slightly fewer dramatic stares into the distance).

🎥 The Old Royal Naval College (London) – If you’ve seen Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Les Misérables, The Crown, or about 50 other productions, you’ve seen this place. But nothing beats experiencing it in person.

🎥 Gloucester Cathedral (Gloucestershire) – Harry Potter fans, here’s another must-visit. The cathedral’s stunning cloisters served as Hogwarts’ hallways, so if you suddenly feel the urge to whisper “Wingardium Leviosa”, we won’t judge.

Why You Need to Join This Tour (Besides the Fact That It’s Awesome)

Sure, you could rent a car, Google these locations, and drive yourself around England and Wales… but where’s the fun in that?
