Where was Agatha Christie's Seven Dials filmed?

New Netflix series Agatha Christie's Seven Dials has been adapted from the iconic crime author's novel The Seven Dials Mystery, with Doctor Who and Broadchurch's Chris Chibnall on writing duties.

Meanwhile, the cast is filled with big name actors including Mia McKenna-Bruce, Helena Bonham Carter and Martin Freeman, and there's a complex mystery afoot, involving a practical joke that has seemingly gone wrong and a death following a lavish country house party.

Beyond all that, though, viewers will no doubt find themselves captivated by the scenery and locations, with the series highlighting some stunning parts of the UK and further afield.

But where was the drama actually filmed and what have the team behind it said about their choice of locations?

Read on for everything you need to know about the filming locations used for Agatha Christie's Seven Dials.

Where was Agatha Christie's Seven Dials filmed?

Agatha Christie's Seven Dials was filmed all around the UK, as well as in Ronda, Spain for some brief sequences set in that country.

Chimneys, the central estate seen in the series, was filmed at Badminton House in Badminton, while a lot of filming took place in Bristol, including at Barrel House, Queens Square, All Saints Street and Clare Street, The Ox restaurant, Corn Exchange, Arnos Vale, Little King Street, Bridewell Street and The Bottleyard Studios.

Filming also took place in Bath at Abbey Green and Great Pulteney Street, as well as in Cardiff at the Crown Court and at the Science Library.

Meanwhile, locations in the South West were also used, including Westonbirt and Minehead/Blue Anchor Station.

Speaking about the choice of locations, executive producer Chris Sussman said: "Part of what we set out to do was question, 'How can we do Agatha Christie in a way that’s never been done before. And how can we do it in a really premium, blow your socks off kind of way?'

"And some of the locations that we’re using are a testament to that. It’s a country house mystery, but the country house is huge and beautiful. I think it speaks to the ambitions of the series."

Director Chris Sweeney added: "We wanted romance for Chimneys, and for it to be crumbling but beautiful. And I based a lot of stuff on things like Cecil Beaton’s house, Reddish House, which were crumbling, and had pelargoniums everywhere.

"We sort of combined Cecil Beaton and Vita Sackville-West for Lady Caterham. Badminton House delivered on that, because it’s a private home, it’s sort of romantically crumbly, but also completely lavish and beautiful.

"And the people who live there are charming and lovely, and I think that comes across in the home, and that was a real find, because ultimately, most of these incredible houses are not private and available to rent. They’re either venues or National Trust properties, and they haven’t got that lovely crumbliness, which I’m obsessed with."

Meanwhile, Martin Freeman said he particularly enjoyed filming in Bath.

"There is a scene in the square, where Battle is watching Bundle from afar and she then spots him," he said. "Production did such an amazing job turning it into the 1920’s, really magical. What they did with the hair, costumes, and makeup, just beautiful."
