A visitor's guide to Midsomer, pinpointing the most popular real-world locations used for filming the series.

'Midsomer Murders' was an immediate success from its very first episode 'The Killing at Badger's Drift', aired in 1997. With this guide, fans of the show can pinpoint the most popular locations used for filming the series, including familiar pubs, churches, villages and countryside that are open for visits. The guide features:

  • Famous pubs such as The Lions at Bledlow, which has been five different pubs in its Midsomer lifetime, and The Crown in Sydenham, which can claim at least three.
  • Villages clustered around the Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire border – Turville, Hambleden, Fingest, Haddenham and Long Crendon, all favourite backdrops in the show.
  • Grand country houses including the Mapledurham Estate, Chenies Manor House and Dorney Court, all open to the public.
  • Ancient churches to admire, quite often the scene of grisly goings on in the vestry.
  • Short profiles on the two DCI Barnabys, John Nettles and Neil Dudegon, along with the five Detective Sergeants and Sykes the dog.
  • With all episodes available on BritBox, fans of the show can watch old episodes with the Midsomer Murders Location Guide in hand and spot exactly where Inspector Barnaby brings the sometimes unlikely villains to book.
