MIDSOMER Murders returns to our TV screens later this month, with series 21 airing on January 21.
But where is the long-running show filmed in the UK? We’ve rounded up the filming locations and how you can visit them.
The hit TV show is set in Causton, in the county of Midsomer, which doesn’t exist.
Instead, the filming locations are split between Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
You can get a direct train to Oxford from London, taking less than an hour, while trains to Buckinghamshire take just over an hour and a half.
Here’s what you need to know:
Filming locations in Oxfordshire
Quite a lot of filming has taken place in Wallingford in Oxfordshire.
The main market square is often featured in the series, with many of the extras being locals.
Other areas include Henley-on-Thames, where you can take part in guided walking tours of the filming locations along the river.
Some of the episodes were also filmed in towns such as Warborough and Watlington, with their pubs and town halls featured in Midsomer Murders.
You can visit the Six Bells Pub in Warborough, which has been used as four different pubs in the show.
If you want to find Causton Town Hall, then head to Thame, another Oxfordshire filming location.
You can even stay in the Peacock Country Inn in Thame, home of the Midsomer Murder Society.
Filming locations in Buckinghamshire
The county of Buckinghamshire also has some famous filming locations featured in the show.
Amersham, Beaconsfield and Cheshom are popular with fans for some of the settings, such as Amersham Hospital (renamed as Causton Hospital for the show).
The train station in Beaconsfield is used for filming, while book shops and the square in Chesham have featured in the past.
Series 21 returns to ITV on January 21 at 8pm.
