AVE you been inspired to visit your favourite film locations and follow your Martin Clunes and Charles Edwards filming the TV series Arthur and George at Cogges on-screen idols?

The Oxfordshire Cotswolds is such a naturally beautiful place that it comes as no Hsurprise to us that producers cast their eyes in our direction when scouting for film locations. The most recent and popular is Downton Abbey where the village of Cogges serves as Yew Tree Farm in Downton Abbey Bampton became the fictional village of ‘Downton’ and Cogges served as ‘Yew Tree Farm’. The villages of Shilton and Swinbrook were also used in some of the storylines.

Cogges has also featured in the TV series ‘Arthur and George ’, a three part drama written about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Of course over the years Oxfordshire Cotswolds locations have played ‘host’ to many series and dramas and none more so than the magnificent Blenheim Palace which has seen action films, wizardry, political intrigue and fantasy filmed there – but obviously not all at the same time…
