Film Set Locations

Essex has become a go to backdrop for major film and TV productions, thanks to its striking mix of coastline, countryside, and historic estates. Blockbusters and fan favourites such as Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, Downton Abbey: A New Era, Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man, Bridget Jones’s Diary, The Crown, The Witcher, The Essex Serpent and, of course, The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) have all used the county’s landscapes to bring their stories to life.
