Was Bridgerton filmed in a real castle?
Bridgerton was filmed in a number of real locations, most of which were stately homes, including palaces and castles. Although not the Bridgerton family home, one castle used in filming was Castle Howard in Yorkshire. This magnificent 18th-century building appeared in both the 1981 television series and the 2008 film Brideshead Revisited, and in Bridgerton, was used in Season 1 as Clyvedon Castle, the residence of the Duke of Hastings.
Which stately homes were used in Bridgerton?
Bridgerton was filmed in a number of locations around the UK. One of the most frequently seen locations is Wrotham Park in Hertfordshire, which serves as the exterior of Aubrey Hall, the Bridgerton family home. Like many of Bridgerton’s locations, it incorporates other grand houses: some rooms were filmed at West Wycombe Park, also in Hertfordshire, the 18th-century home of notorious aristocrat Sir Francis Dashwood, which also appeared in Downton Abbey and the 2017 TV adaptation of Howard’s End, while the impressive Orangery is actually located at Wrest Park in Bedfordshire, built in the 1830s.
Where in London was Bridgerton filmed?
While much of the action in Bridgerton is filmed in London, a number of locations were used to represent the capital, including Bath’s famous Royal Crescent. However, outside the Bridgerton home is Ranger’s House in Greenwich, south-east London, and street scenes were often filmed at the nearby Old Royal Naval College, a popular location for period dramas.
