Bridgerton Season 4 Filming Locations: A Tour of Britain's Stately Homes
Netflix's sumptuous Regency period drama Bridgerton has returned to screens with its fourth series, captivating audiences once again with its opulent romance and breathtaking backdrops. While the first four episodes of season four have premiered, with part two arriving next month, the production continues its tradition of utilising some of Britain's most magnificent historic locations to bring the world of the ton to vivid life.
Iconic Estates and Country Houses
The new episodes revisit the familiar London society haunts, including the wisteria-clad Bridgerton residence and the less grand Featherington home, while also introducing fresh, picturesque settings drawn from Julia Quinn's 2001 novel, An Offer from a Gentleman. The Shondaland production has scouted an impressive array of stately homes and public landmarks across England to serve as the fictional residences of the show's beloved characters.
Key Filming Sites for Season Four
Loseley Park, Surrey: This private family estate in Guildford stands in for Benedict Bridgerton's countryside dwelling, My Cottage. Despite its modest-sounding name, the location is anything but small, featuring period details and paintings within a 400-year-old history. The estate is open on specific days and offers cottage stays and wedding hire.
Castle Howard, North Yorkshire: Located just outside York, this sweeping Baroque residence portrays the Duke of Hastings' Clyvedon Castle. Its extensive house and grounds are open to visitors through ticket bookings.
Royal Crescent, Bath: An iconic Georgian landmark, this location has served as the exterior for the Featherington family's London home since season three. It has also appeared in other productions like McDonald & Dodds.
Additional Prominent Locations
Ranger's House, Greenwich: Owned by English Heritage, this site provides the exterior for Bridgerton House, home to Violet Bridgerton and her family. It offers guided tours and private hire beside Greenwich Park.
Holburne Museum, Bath: Another façade for the Featherington home, this museum is open daily with various exhibits for fans to explore.
Wilton House, Wiltshire: This stately home has also doubled as Clyvedon Castle and has featured in other notable productions including The Crown and Pride & Prejudice.
Historic Palaces and Trust Properties
Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire: A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it portrayed Queen Charlotte's residence in the spin-off series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story and hosts year-round events.
Hampton Court Palace, Richmond: King Henry VIII's former home serves as Queen Charlotte's royal residence in the main series, with its grand halls and gardens adding to the monarch's splendour.
Basildon Park, Berkshire: A National Trust property, it represented Lady Tilley Arnold's home in season three and is open to visitors who wish to explore its decadent interiors and grounds.
Hatfield House, Hertfordshire: A favourite for film and TV, this Jacobean house and garden has been used for various Bridgerton scenes and hosts events like concert picnics.
Kingston Bagpuize House, Oxfordshire: This early Georgian country house has appeared in Bridgerton as well as Downton Abbey and the 2020 adaptation of Emma.
With Bridgerton season 4, part 2 set for release on Netflix on February 26, fans have the opportunity to visit these remarkable locations and experience the grandeur that defines the show's visual appeal.
