OfficialPublic village

Kersey village

Magpie Murders · Suffolk, England

On screen: Saxby-on-Avon village streets, the ford and establishing views

Filming type
Exterior/location work
Episode evidence
Used throughout the Atticus Pünd village story; exact episode-by-scene index is being checked.
Why it works
The steep lane, timber-framed houses, church approach and ford create a coherent English village with little visual intrusion.
Getting there
Rural village. Arrive by car or taxi, park without obstructing residents, and complete the compact centre on foot.
Accessibility
Historic slopes, uneven surfaces and the ford area can present barriers; no site-wide step-free route is claimed.
Opening / access
Public roads have no attraction hours; individual businesses set their own.
Suggested time
60–90 minutes for a respectful walking circuit.
Seasonal note
Wet weather makes the ford and slopes more difficult. Daylight visits are best.
Nearby fan context
Hadleigh and Lavenham extend the Suffolk period-town atmosphere but are not presented as Magpie filming sites.
Coordinates
52.0558, 0.9101
Also seen on screen
Verified secondary sources also record Kersey in Lovejoy, Penelope Keith’s Hidden Villages and the Austin Metro launch film.

The Bell Inn, Kersey

Magpie Murders · Suffolk, England

On screen: The Bell Inn frontage was dressed as the Queen’s Arms

Filming type
Exterior/location work
Episode evidence
Appears in the Pünd-world village strand; precise episode index remains under review.
Why it works
Its traditional frontage sits naturally within Kersey’s continuous historic streetscape.
Getting there
View from the public street and follow village parking restrictions. The pub is closed while the owner seeks a new operator; do not enter or block the frontage.
Accessibility
No customer access is currently available. The public-street exterior sits on Kersey’s historic slope.
Opening / access
Closed at the latest check. The property owner still lists the pub as an operator opportunity with investment planned, so there is no customer access; view the exterior only from the public street.
Suggested time
15–30 minutes as part of the Kersey walk.
Seasonal note
Respect residents and keep the frontage and road clear at all times.
Nearby fan context
Kersey ford and church approach are within the same walking circuit.
Coordinates
52.0570, 0.9114
Also seen on screen
No other independently verified film or television use has been found for the inn itself.

River House, Kersey

Magpie Murders · Suffolk, England

On screen: Whitworth confirms that River House features in Magpie Murders; its exact fictional role is here

Filming type
Exterior and reported interior location work
Episode evidence
The property consultant expected mostly exterior use with some interior filming; an episode-by-scene index remains unavailable.
Why it works
The Grade II-listed Elizabethan house beside Kersey’s ford anchors the village’s historic character.
Getting there
View only as part of the public village circuit. Do not enter, approach works, block the road or disturb occupants.
Accessibility
Private property; the public road and ford area include uneven surfaces and gradients.
Opening / access
No public opening hours. This is not a visitor attraction.
Suggested time
A brief exterior view as part of the 60–90 minute Kersey walk.
Seasonal note
Wet weather can affect the ford and lane; restoration or private activity may further limit views.
Nearby fan context
The Bell Inn exterior and wider Saxby-on-Avon village route are on the same public circuit.
Coordinates
52.0558, 0.9101 (area-level pin)
Also seen on screen
Whitworth records River House in the first episode of Lovejoy, including the ford outside.

Dublin City University properties

Magpie Murders · Dublin, Ireland

On screen: DCU properties supplied selected English-setting material

Filming type
Interior and exterior location work
Episode evidence
The production used university properties, but building-by-building scene matches remain unresolved.
Why it works
A varied university estate can supply institutional, residential and period-compatible settings within one production base.
Getting there
Use DCU’s official campus and transport information; access varies by campus, building and event.
Accessibility
Consult DCU accessibility and campus information for the specific building before visiting.
Opening / access
Campus grounds and buildings have different access rules. This is not a set tour.
Suggested time
Not estimated until the exact buildings are verified.
Seasonal note
Academic events and term-time activity can change access.
Nearby fan context
Central Dublin’s Georgian areas provide useful architectural context but are not all confirmed filming sites.

Glenmaroon House

Magpie Murders · County Dublin, Ireland

On screen: Reported as Alan Conway’s home

Filming type
Exterior attribution
Episode evidence
Linked to the contemporary investigation; exact interior/exterior split is not yet production-confirmed.
Why it works
The substantial house and grounds convey Conway’s wealth and isolation.
Getting there
Do not plan a visit to the property. Use only lawful public viewpoints and never block access.
Accessibility
Not a public visitor attraction.
Opening / access
No public opening information verified.
Suggested time
No visit duration recommended.
Seasonal note
Not applicable: private property.
Nearby fan context
Use public attractions in Dublin or Phoenix Park instead of approaching the house.

Bloomsbury House attribution

Magpie Murders · County Meath, Ireland

On screen: County Meath country-house material is reported; the exact property name and scene use need primary confirmation

Filming type
Property attribution unresolved
Episode evidence
No episode link is published while the property attribution remains unresolved.
Why it works
No editorial analysis is offered until the location is verified.
Getting there
Do not travel to or book a property based on this unresolved attribution.
Accessibility

Crete production area

Moonflower Murders · Crete, Greece

On screen: Susan and Andreas’s Greek-life strand was filmed in Crete

Filming type
Exterior/location work
Episode evidence
Crete appears in the contemporary story; exact hotel, terrace and coastal matches remain under research.
Why it works
Bright coastal light and open Mediterranean landscapes contrast Susan’s attempted new life with the enclosed English mystery.
Getting there
This is an island-level record, not a pin for a specific set. Do not book a hotel from visual resemblance alone.
Accessibility
Accessibility depends on the eventual verified venues; use official tourism and venue information.
Opening / access
Not applicable to a regional record.
Suggested time
At least three nights for a general Crete visit; this is not a verified filming itinerary.
Seasonal note
Heat, ferry/flight schedules and seasonal business hours require checking.
Nearby fan context
Heraklion and public archaeological sites make independent additions, not series locations.
Coordinates
35.2401, 24.8093
Also seen on screen
A useful cross-screen list requires exact venues; broad “filmed in Crete” credits would be misleading.

Dublin production area

Moonflower Murders · Dublin, Ireland

On screen: Dublin and surrounding properties doubled for English settings

Filming type
Production base / locations
Episode evidence
Exact hotel and house matches are not yet supported strongly enough for venue pins.
Why it works
Dublin gives the production access to Georgian streets, period interiors and country properties close to a major production centre.
Getting there
Treat this as a research-status area, not a promise of a location trail.
Accessibility
Use official accessibility information for any independently visited venue.
Opening / access
Not applicable to a regional record.
Suggested time
No filming-specific duration until exact venues are confirmed.
Seasonal note
City access is year-round; individual properties vary.
Nearby fan context
Public museums and Georgian Dublin offer context without being labelled as confirmed locations.
Coordinates

Corfu Old Town / Campiello

Marble Hall Murders · Corfu, Greece

On screen: Old Town and Campiello-area filming for the Greek mystery setting

Filming type
Exterior/location work
Episode evidence
Scene-level mapping is held until the BBC One transmission beginning 26 September 2026.
Why it works
Venetian lanes, arcades and honey-coloured façades create a distinctive Mediterranean period world.
Getting there
Best explored on foot. Expect steps, polished stone and narrow lanes; parking is outside much of the historic core.
Accessibility
Old surfaces, gradients and steps can be difficult. Check municipal and attraction-specific access.
Opening / access
Public streets remain accessible, while churches, museums and fortresses set their own hours.
Suggested time
Half a day for the Old Town; 60–90 minutes for a focused Campiello walk.
Seasonal note
Summer heat and cruise-day crowds can be intense; early or late walks are quieter.
Nearby fan context
The Liston and fortresses add screen-history context without being claimed as Marble Hall locations yet.
Coordinates

Marble Hall Murders · Central Corfu, Greece

On screen: Reported as part of the Corfu shoot; exact on-screen identity awaits transmission

Filming type
Production area
Episode evidence
Held for the post-BBC episode audit.
Why it works
The inland village landscape offers a quieter counterpoint to Corfu Old Town.
Getting there
Use a car or taxi and distinguish public village space from private accommodation and estates.
Accessibility
No village-wide accessibility claim is made; confirm the precise destination.
Opening / access
Public roads have no attraction hours; venues vary.
Suggested time
30–60 minutes only if a public scene match is confirmed.

Marble Hall Murders · Agios Ioannis, Corfu

On screen: The venue confirms filming, but its exact fictional identity awaits the BBC transmission

Filming type
Venue filming; role pending
Episode evidence
Held for the post-BBC episode audit.
Why it works
A restored historic mansion and garden can supply both elegance and seclusion.
Getting there
Visit only as a booked guest or with explicit permission. The venue website remained unavailable on 28 September 2026, so do not travel without direct confirmation.
Accessibility
Confirm current step-free rooms, paths and facilities directly before booking.
Opening / access

Suggested time
Not a casual sightseeing stop.
Seasonal note

Danilia Village

Marble Hall Murders · Central Corfu, Greece

On screen: Reported among the Corfu locations; exact Marble Hall scenes await BBC transmission

Filming type
Period village location
Episode evidence
Held for the post-BBC episode audit.
Why it works
The purpose-built traditional village removes modern visual clutter and offers controllable period streets.
Getting there
Reserve and confirm before travel. The operator says dates and hours may change without notice for private events.
Accessibility
Historic-style surfaces may be difficult. Ask the operator about step-free access, seating and accessible facilities before reserving.
Opening / access
Guided tours are listed daily from 10:00–19:00 from May to October. Dinner runs 19:00–22:00 except Mondays, and the Kafeneion 10:00–19:00 except Mondays. The Kafeneion also opens 10:00–18:00 on Saturdays and Sundays in March and April. Reservations are required.
Suggested time
Allow 60–90 minutes with a confirmed reservation.
Seasonal note
The operator describes guided tours for Grecotel hotel guests and does not guarantee independent walk-in access. Confirm eligibility, transfer arrangements and access before travelling.
Nearby fan context
Gouvia and central Corfu can provide a base, but no hotel is presented as a filming property without evidence.
Coordinates
39.6530, 19.8350
Also seen on screen

Why it works
The publishing-world story benefits from recognisable metropolitan streets and offices.

Visit like a detective, not a film crew

  • Stay on public rights of way and never enter private land for a photograph.
  • Keep doors, drives, businesses and residents’ sightlines clear.
  • Ask before photographing interiors, guests, worshippers or staff.
  • Check official opening, accessibility and transport information on the day.
  • Drone rules and commercial photography permissions are separate from ordinary visitor access.

Three spoiler-free location days

Kersey on foot

Allow 60–90 minutes for the village lane, ford, River House exterior and Bell Inn exterior. Add Hadleigh or Lavenham as nearby period context—not as claimed filming sites.

Corfu Old Town

Spend half a day walking Campiello and the historic centre. Keep Danilia and private venues as separately planned visits with access confirmed in advance.

Open the Corfu Old Town walk →

Dublin research trail

Use public Georgian streets and museums for production context. The guide does not route visitors to unresolved or private properties.

Real place, screen place

Kersey → Saxby-on-Avon

Confirmed village-wide screen identity. The Bell Inn was dressed as the Queen’s Arms; River House is independently confirmed as a production property, but its exact fictional role is not claimed.

Dublin → English doubles

DCU and Dublin-area properties supplied English-setting material. Exact building-to-scene matches remain open, so a Dublin address is never presented as a genuine London shoot.

London → genuine exteriors

Production reporting records some Magpie exterior filming in London. Exact streets remain unresolved and are kept separate from Dublin doubles.

What remains under investigation

  • Bloomsbury House: County Meath filming is reported, but the property name and exact scenes lack authoritative confirmation.
  • Crete: PBS confirms the island and discusses the contrasting production world, but does not identify the real Hotel Trifilli venue.
  • Branlow Hall and the Moonflower Hotel: the PBS locations-and-sets feature describes their production design without naming the real properties.
  • Marble Hall: episode-by-scene Corfu, London and Dublin matches after the complete BBC One run.

How we check locations

Locations are checked against broadcaster, production, venue and tourism sources. Each guide links to its sources; a reported connection is kept separate from a confirmed filming site.
