Where is Ralph & Katie set?
Like The A Word before it, Ralph & Katie is set in the Lake District, with the majority of filming also taking place in and around the area.

According to Cumbria Crack, filming took place in the Lake District town of Keswick, with the site noting that set dressing was put up for the Christmas-set episode, The Motherships Have Landed. This reportedly included an artificial festive fir, smaller trees, fairy lights and decorations, all of which went up in front of the Moot Hall.
Outside of Cumbria, further on location filming took place in Cheshire, specifically in the town of Bollington. Chesire Live reported that specific locations used in the area included Market Place, Water Street and Green Cafe, with more mention of the Christmas theme being used.
Throughout the series, there are numerous shots used of the lakes themselves, with Tom Wentworth, who wrote the fifth episode Ralph's Balls, previously having spoken about the picturesque locations used for show.
In explaining what the audience can expect from the series, Wentworth said: "Huge heart, some great jokes and tons of romance in a beautiful location. What’s not to like?!"
Where else was the series filmed?
As with most series, Ralph & Katie was also filmed partly on a created set, with interior sequences shot at Space Studios Manchester.
The same studios have previously been used for filming on shows including Peaky Blinders, Brassic, The Crown and the show which led to Ralph & Katie, The A Word.
