If you stayed in this weekend to watch part one of Bridgerton Season 3, we know exactly how you feel. The tension is high, the scandal runs deep and we have a dire need to fill in the Bridgerton-spaced gap between part one and two.

So while you wait for the second half of season three to hit your screen next month, we suggest filling your calendar with visits to some stunning locations where the series has been shot. From royal estates in London to castles and parks not more than 100 miles away, we’ve rounded up some of the Bridgerton filming locations across all three seasons that you can visit. So pour yourself a cup of tea, and read on:

Grimsthorpe Castle

A castle nestled in the heart of Lincolnshire, Grimsthorpe serves as the home of new Bridgerton entrant, the eccentric inventor, Lord Hawkins. It also played host to a grand ball (one of the many), for which film crews transformed the interiors to allow for 200 people to be dancing in the historic building. The grand castle and estate was previously used to shoot scenes from the Bridgerton spinoff series, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. About 100 miles north of London, the castle is open to the public only on certain days in the week over summer, so visit the website to check the dates before visiting.

Blenheim Palace

Home of the 12th Duke and Duchess of Marlborough and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, the majestic Blenheim Palace is no stranger to the spotlight. Scenes from Queen Charlotte were shot here with Blenheim posing as Buckingham Palace, and it appears on screen again in Bridgerton Season 3. You might also recognise it from scenes from Harry Potter and the James Bond films. For visitors, there’s lots to enjoy over the summer including the Icons of British Fashion exhibition currently running featuring a line-up of world-class designers taking over the palace with designs on display from the late Dame Vivienne Westwood.

Osterley Park and House

We won’t give out any spoilers here, but this Georgian estate hosts a momentous ball in Season 3. With a six-acre garden and magnificent quadrangle, Osterley in all its palatial splendour serves as the perfect backdrop for sparks to fly and rumours to spread. The park makes a lovely day picnic spot for Bridgerton fans, with lots of walking space amidst gardens and rose bushes, and a calendar of events including outdoor theatre and afternoon tea served in the Tudor courtyard.

Basildon Park

Another spectacular home in Bridgerton Season 3, Basildon Park serves as the impressive dwellings of Lady Tilley Arnold, a Season 3 newcomer played by Hannah New. Consisting of a three-storey block flanked by pavilions, the house has a richly decorated neo-classical hall, a spectacular staircase with cantilevered stairs and ornate ceilings, making it the ideal Regency home for Bridgerton’s newest cast member.

Wilton House

One of the UK’s finest stately homes. Wilton House is a 17th-century estate that’s home to lush gardens, extravagantly designed cloisters, extraordinary art collections and antique furniture. The house has served as Buckingham Palace in The Crown, and one of its rooms appeared in Keira Knightley‘s Pride & Prejudice. Most recently, the house has been a key filming location for Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte.

Ranger’s House

With its wisteria-covered red brick walls in the series, the villa plays the exterior of the Bridgerton family house. The Georgian villa is located on the boundary of Greenwich Park and Blackheath, and visitors are allowed to view The Wernher Collection that’s housed here – a collection of over 700 works of art including medieval sculptures, glittering jewellery and Renaissance paintings. Over 300 years old, it’s easy to imagine that the house holds its own scandal and secrets that might just be at par with the Bridgerton family drama.

No.1 Royal Crescent

With its extravagant facade, it’s no surprise that this stately house served as residence for the family most fond of grandiosity, the Featherington’s. A magnificently restored townhouse museum in Bath, No.1 was mainly used for exterior shots of the front door where characters were entering and leaving the house. The museum now offers tours to learn about Regency family life, with specially-tailored Bridgerton-themed inclusions for fans of the show.

Old Royal Naval College

This iconic 600-year-old riverside estate has a rich history linked to the British monarchy, and was once the site of the Palace of Placentia, birth place of the Tudor monarch King Henry VIII. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to the stunning Painted Hall, which boasts 3,700 square metres of Baroque walls and ceilings, making an awe-inspiring room to walk into. The scene in Season 2 where Anthony is desperately going through his “list of women” is shot here and it was also used to depict the street outside the Featherington home.

Windsor Great Park

This princely estate is where Kate Sharma and Anthony Bridgerton had their horsey meet-cute in Season 2 where they challenged each other to a horse race at dawn. The sprawling park also doubled up as the woods outside Bridgerton’s Aubrey Hall, the site of some charged moments between Kate and Anthony. A royal landscape of forests, grasslands, lakes and gardens, it’s where you’ll find rare wildlife, historical monuments and as far as Bridgerton goes, true love.

Badminton House

Set amidst the glorious South Gloucestershire countryside, Badminton House is a 17th-century estate that serves as the London home of Season 1’s Duke of Hastings (Simon Basset). Famously the site of the Badminton Horse Trials, the house is the current home of the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort and while it’s generally closed to the public, fans of Bridgerton can book private group tours of the house and gardens. Badminton boasts of glorious Georgian period decor with stately drawing rooms, banquet halls, elegant fountains and conservatories and also has its own hunting lodge, stables and airfield making it the perfect filming location for a period drama with all the splendour that Bridgerton has to offer.
