Check out these Bridgerton filming locations below:
Wilton House, Wiltshire
You may recognise this gorgeous venue as that of Queen Charlotte's home in Bridgerton, where we see her garden, bedroom and, of course, the stunning parlour. Wilton House, in Wiltshire, is the location real-life location used for these scenes, and is open to the public during the summer. The filming location was also used in the show as the Duke of Hasting's house exterior, as well as Lady Danbury's library.
No.1 Royal Crescent, Somerset
No.1 Royal Crescent, in Somerset, is the real-life building that serves as the stunning Featherington family home in Bridgerton. The building is a former high society Georgian townhouse, built back in the built in the 18th century, boasting Palladian construction made from Bath stone. With the stunning building erected between 1767-69, it may not come as a surprise that the location has been used in multiple period dramas. The public are now able to visit the stunning location, as it now operates as a museum.
Castle Howard, York
Castle Howard, situated in York, was used frequently as a filming location throughout the Bridgerton series. From Castle Howard's Great Hall, to the Walled Garden, The Temple of the Four Winds and even the wider estate, the scenic grounds welcomed characters such as Daphne Bridgerton, the Duke of Hastings and even the troublesome Nigel Berbrooke. Castle Howard is open for the public to visit - and not only that, but they could even catch a glimpse of the site's very own team member, Matthew, who stepped in to be an extra in the show as he greeted the Duke and Duchess as 'household staff'.
Rangers House, London
What we may all recognise as the Bridgerton family residence in the TV show, is in fact a location named Rangers House, situated in London. In the show, the home is presented as a cosmopolitan London Home - so the Georgian villa is the perfect filming spot. In real life, the house is situated on the edge of Greenwich Park, and is open to public visitors. Having welcomed royal family and countless aristocrats in the past, the building is now an art museum which famously houses The Wernher Collection.
Halton House, Buckinghamshire
As for the internal shots for the show, you can find those inside Halton House in Buckinghamshire. The building, which runs as an active RAF base, provided interiors for scenes in multiple seasons - including the smoking room, hallway, grand hall and staircase. A trip to Buckinghamshire will allow you to view the stunning location, which still serves as one of the UK's largest Royal Air Force stations - however it is reportedly expected to close by 2025.
Hatfield House, Hertfordshire
The regal setting that is Hatfield House was used for many shooting locations throughout Bridgerton - most notable so, the interior of the Featherington's family home. The large estate is used for various scenes in the series, as well as being one of the most popular filming locations in the UK - having reportedly appeared in around 70 film and TV series since the 60s. Both the house and gardens are open for the public to visit.
Painshill Park, Cobham
Of course, fans of the show will know that manicured parks and picturesque gardens are a huge part of the Bridgerton aesthetic, and essential for those stunning promenade and picnic scenes - making Painshill Park, in Cobham, the perfect filming location. Its 18th century follies and large garden landscape allow for the location to be adapted to many period dramas, making the park a popular filming spot. The park is open for the public to visit, with opening times even available for the Gothic Temple.
Wrest Park
Wrest Park, in Bedfordshire, is the stunning location used for the Bridgerton family's country retreat, boasting its gorgeous grounds and parterres, with the orangery also appearing in the show. The location is also used in the third season, appearing as the Fullers' family home. With the building managed by the English Heritage, it is available for the public to visit (with a booking).
Petworth House
Another impressive interior used in the Bridgerton series is that of Petworth House - used for the art gallery we see characters such as Edwina Sharma and Violet Bridgerton stroll through in season two. The National Trust property, located in West Sussex, houses a collection of impressive artwork - some of which had to be moved to make way for production. Sue Rhodes, Petworth's Visitor Experience Manager, said: "We had to move some collection items to make way for filming, including our incredible Molyneux Globe. We brought in specialist art handlers to support our collections team as some of the paintings needed to come down, including one of the biggest ones – a painting by Northcote." The large grounds are open for the public to visit, with different areas having various opening times, which can be viewed and booked online.
Grimsthorpe Castle
A new filming location for Bridgerton season three sees the gorgeous Grimsthorpe Castle, located in the heart of Lincolnshire, brought to life for the Innovations Ball. A ball hosted by new character Lord Hawkins - an eccentric innovator - the stunning interiors of the castle provide the perfect scenery for the slightly more 'strange' home of the quirky innovator. On the new location, Bridgerton Locations manager Tony Hood said: "We had to bring in changes that weren't typical of a Regency house," continuing: "We reasoned that Hawkins would have gone for something a little bit strange. It's where we shot the Innovations Ball, which was fantastic, and we had a great time up there." The castle, as well as park and gardens, are open two days a week for the public to view.
