Bath has long attracted directors and producers eager to feature the city’s stunning Georgian architecture and surrounding manor houses and countryside on both the big and small screen.

The city features in Hollywood hits including Les Misérables, The Duchess, and Vanity Fair. On the small screen, the cobbled Queen Street stood in for Victorian England in a special episode of Sherlock. More recently, you might have noticed Bath in The Trial of Christine Keeler and Belgravia, and the city had a role in both The Pursuit of Love and detective drama McDonald and Dodds.

One of Bath's big starring roles as a location is in Bridgerton. The series, set in the Regency era, is produced by Shonda Rhimes and stars none other than Julie Andrews as narrator. It features plenty of romance and scandal, and premiered on Netflix on Christmas Day 2020.

Also on netflix, 2022's adaption of Jane Austen's Persuasion, starring Dakota Johnson features beautiful Bath as a backdrop, as do both the 1995 and 2007 adaptations. Discover Persuasion Filming Locations in Bath
