I explored the enchanting Bridgerton shooting site as the popular series makes its comeback this week.

The popular Netflix show Bridgerton is set against the beautiful backdrop of exquisite Georgian architecture, opulent estates, and classic gardens. One of its UK filming spots is equally enchanting and romantic as the series itself, which I discovered during a delightful outing.

I recall settling in to watch Netflix's Bridgerton in December 2020, when it first premiered, notably during the pandemic. It provided a much-needed diversion into the love story of Daphne Bridgerton and the Duke of Hastings, which unfolded over eight episodes.

Since then, it has achieved remarkable success and is among the most-viewed programs on the streaming service. The first part of the fourth season of Bridgerton is scheduled for release on January 29, with the second part coming on February 26, as it explores Benedict's romantic journey.

Amid the characters’ adventures and the regency-era attire, the show’s setting is idealised with exquisite halls for gatherings, splendid country houses, and the enchanting British countryside. It is nothing short of breathtaking, and several of its notable filming sites are found in the UK.

One of the latest additions, set to appear in the fourth season, is Loseley House in Surrey, after Bridgerton actors Luke Thompson (Benedict Bridgerton) and Yerin Ha (Sophie Baek) were seen filming there. The magnificent country estate, constructed between 1562 and 1568, is located within the expansive 1,400-acre Loseley Park, just a short distance from Guildford.

As I impatiently await the new season and as a devoted Bridgerton enthusiast, I chose to visit the primary, and arguably most famous filming location—the stunning city of Bath. It was evident why they selected this picturesque city as part of the scenery for the period drama.

Nestled in the valley of the River Avon in Somerset, Bath is renowned for its striking Georgian architecture, well-preserved Roman baths, natural thermal springs, and UNESCO World Heritage designation. It is decorated with honey-hued buildings, including those along Bath Street, Trim Street, and around Beaufort Square, all of which appear in the series.

Bath boasts notable landmarks, including The Royal Crescent. The sweeping rows of Georgian terraced houses are among the top attractions in Bath, and they are just as impressive in reality, with their appearances in Bridgerton only enhancing their allure.

In Bath, I also explored the square where the stunning Abbey is situated, and around the corner, The Abbey Deli, which serves as the notable Modiste dress shop in the Netflix series. Its lovely facade, with rounded windows, is just as appealing as the interior, making it worthwhile to stop by for a coffee or a delicious snack!

The grand Holburne Museum has been featured as the exterior of Lady Danbury’s residence, another eye-catching structure in the city. I also strolled by the historic Assembly Rooms and envisioned myself attending an extravagant ball while admiring the Guildhall, which was depicted as the exterior for one of the show’s social events.

However, it remains uncertain whether Bath will appear in the fourth season as it did previously, or at all. Country and Townhouse reported that, due to the city’s popularity since the initial series of Bridgerton, filming there has 'become increasingly challenging' as fans congregate near the location, so some scenes might show the Georgian city but could be filmed elsewhere.

Nevertheless, if you’re a Bridgerton enthusiast, a trip to Bath is still highly worthwhile, as it is easy to spend the entire day exploring the ancient streets and real-life filming locations. But even if you’re not, its beautiful architecture, vibrant culinary scene, famous landmarks, independent boutiques, charming eateries, cosy cafés, and the Pulteney Bridge is sure to merit a visit.

In addition to Bath, there are several other picturesque UK locations that have served as the backdrop for the series. From Ranger’s House in Greenwich, Lancaster House in London, Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, Castle Howard in York, Wilton House in Salisbury, Basildon Park in Lower Basildon, Kingston Bagpuize House in Abingdon, and Claydon House in Buckinghamshire.

Bridgerton is indeed filmed across the UK, with the fourth season set to revisit some of its most iconic sites.
