On the trail of Midsomer Murders

At the bottom of this page you will find a downloadable Midsomer Murders Trail and Map - go explore the famous settings for yourself!

Those Midsomer murderers are at it again! Series Eleven of ITV's tongue-in-cheek country classic catches yet more victims napping in sleepy villages whose Old English beauty looks too good to be true.

Plots may be fantastic, but the idyllic settings of Midsomer Mallow or Magna, Wellow or Worthy are delightfully real.

The key locations that enthral viewers around the world are hidden away in Buckinghamshire's rural Vale of Aylesbury and Chiltern Hills, within easy reach of Pinewood Studios where the production team makes its base.

In true Midsomer Murders tradition, these seemingly peaceful villages with their hallmark village greens, old-world cottages, cosy pubs and jolly summer fetes conceal more than meets the eye. Our trail visits a selection of them, unmasking such quirky characters as a hedgehog hospital and a duck decoy, England's oldest freehouse, the model for Enid Blyton's Toy Town or the secret resting place of a notorious spy.
