Itinerary

  1. Set in the fictional Devonshire seaside town of Shipton Abbott, it is actually filmed in Looe in Cornwall. Stroll along the picturesque harbour and explore the winding streets of the historic town centre as you follow in the footsteps of DI Humphrey Goodman. The tour stops outside the Guildhall, which was used as the police station, and see some of the local shops and restaurants that have been featured in the show, including The Sail Loft restaurant. Part of the tour also passes by the town’s very own working fish market, which has been featured in the series. Walk along the East Looe River, which can be seen in a river chase scene in the first series of the show. One of the highlights of the tour is a stop at East Looe Beach, one of Southern Cornwall’s popular, sandy beaches. There you can breathe in the salty sea air and understand why the cast and crew enjoyed filming in this idyllic location in the South West of England.

About Cornwall

Cornwall is the long, narrow peninsula at the south-west tip of England, with granite cliffs, sandy coves, fishing harbours and a Celtic identity.

Cornwall occupies the far south-west of England, with the sea on three sides and the River Tamar marking most of the Devon border. At Land's End the cliffs mark the most westerly point of mainland England, and the Lizard peninsula is the southernmost point of mainland Britain. St Michael's Mount, a castle on a tidal island, is reached by a causeway at low tide, and Tintagel Castle, on the north coast, is tied by legend to King Arthur.
