Full description.

Take a trip through some of England’s most verdant villages.

Leaving from London , this tour will guide you through several English counties, including Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire . These have been the filming locations for Midsomer Murders for more than two decades. Their relaxed and idyllic atmospheres work in stark contrast to the high-drama storylines of the TV series.

One of the main attractions on the  Midsomer Murders Locations Tour from London is Wallingford . This Oxfordshire town on the banks of the Thames regularly features as Causton , the home of DCI Barnaby . Diehard fans should recognise the Wallingford streets and buildings. You might even see a few familiar faces, as the locals often work as extras in the production.

But Wallingford can’t lay claim to all of the Causton glory. The town of Thame also lends a few of its buildings to the fictional village. Most notable is the Thame town hall , a regular Causton filming location.

Another regular filming location throughout the years has been Mapledurham House . The estate has represented many different locations in many different episodes. Most recently it featured as a health spa. Needless to say, it has also been the setting of many mystery killings.

Another hub of murderous activity over the years has been Turville , a village in Buckinghamshire. But Midsomer Murders is not Turville’s only claim to fame. It has featured in many small and big-screen productions. You’ll be sure to recognise some of its settings from the Vicar of Dibley, Goodnight Mr. Tom , and even Chitty Chitty Bang Bang .

Other rural locations used in the TV show include Warbourough, Dorchester-on-Thames, the Chilterns, and more. Whether it’s historic architecture, thatched-roof pubs, or just rolling green hills, each offers a unique backdrop. Throughout the tour, your guide will be sure to point out all of the notable scenes shot in these areas . They’ll also provide you with some anecdotes from behind the scenes , revealing some of the mysteries behind this long-running whodunnit!
