Fade In: The UK | Harry Potter & Outlander Film Location Guide

Three countries. Three self-contained loops. One guide.

The planning is done. Now all you have to do is book it.

Push a trolley at a brick wall in London. Stand in the courtyard where Monty Python, Outlander and Game of Thrones all filmed the same castle. Watch the Jacobite steam across the Glenfinnan Viaduct. Walk the beach where Dobby was buried. Finish on Barry Island with chips.

This is a 60 page digital PDF guide to the real filming locations of Harry Potter, Outlander, Bridgerton, The Crown, Game of Thrones, Paddington, Sex Education, Gavin and Stacey, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail, across Southern England, Scotland and Wales. Twenty one stops, three planned routes, downloadable the moment you buy.

Read some of it before you buy. There is a free preview on this page with a full stop from the guide, prices and all.

Three loops, travelled however suits you:

• Southern England, about 5 days. London, Oxford, Lacock, Bath, Wilton

• Scotland, about 5 days, or 6 with the Inverness side quest. Edinburgh, Linlithgow, Blackness, Midhope, Doune, Culross, Falkland, Glencoe, Glenfinnan

• Wales, about 3 days. Freshwater West, Symonds Yat, Cardiff, Barry Island

Do one loop for a holiday. Do all three back to back for a fortnight. Most people take one at a time, and the guide is built for exactly that.

What is inside:

• 21 numbered stops, plus an arrival bonus, two side quests and the London theatre

• Real filming locations with the scene each one appears in, plus bonus Downton Abbey and Pride & Prejudice stops at Lacock

• Three Google maps, one per loop, every stop pinned and colour coded by day, each with a QR code so you can open it from a printed page

• Honest access notes for every stop: step-free or not, parking, terrain, nearest station

• Rail and public transport routes alongside driving, including the Jacobite steam train, so a lot of this works without a car

• Practical boxes with prices, opening times and booking windows, all checked and dated 2026

• Honest flags where they matter. Wilton House is closed to interior visitors throughout 2026. Some stops are a view rather than a visit, and the guide says so rather than letting you find out at the gate

• A live updates page. If a price or an opening time moves after you buy, it gets logged there, so your copy stays reliable

Why the full guide rather than one country?

Southern England is £12.99. Scotland is £12.99. Buy just those two separately and you have already spent £25.98. The full guide is £24.99 and gives you Wales as well, so the third loop costs you less than nothing.

Why not just ask an AI to plan this?

You can, and it will hand you a list that sounds right. What it will not do is design the trip. I use AI myself, for research and for drafting. It does not plan and it does not decide. I do. I chose these places, worked out which filming locations were actually worth the time, and built them into routes that flow in the order that makes sense on the ground. I decided which stops to cut, which to flag, and where a booking window is tight enough to catch people out, like Christ Church releasing tickets on a Friday for the following week only, or the Jacobite selling out months ahead in summer. Then I checked every price, opening time and location against official sources and dated it, in 2026. An AI will tell you a place is open with total confidence when it has been closed all year. This is a planned, checked trip, not a list you have to sanity check yourself before you travel.
