Detectorists Filming Locations - Framlingham, Suffolk - walking tour. McKenzie Crook comedy tv show

Detectorists is a charming, British comedy series starring McKenzie Crook and Toby Jones. My film is an affectionate tribute which takes you on a walking tour of some of the locations filmed in the tranquil market town of Framlingham in Suffolk.
The Detectorists is a superb comedy, beautifully written, perfectly cast and acted. Immerse yourself in the world of Lance and Andy and the other members of the DMDC as they search with their metal detectors for treasure, mostly they only find ring-pulls but occasionally they find something special. It is a delightful journey as their various stories gently unfold. My film shows you the Suffolk locations, linked to the scenes in the show with facts and location details. Framlingham was used as a location in all three series. Here are some of the Detectorists’ Framlingham locations you can see:
Two Brewers pub
The DMDC clubhouse
Lance's Flat
St Michael’s churchyard where Sophie meets Peter
The Lemon Tree restaurant where Lance meets his daughter Kate
Lance’s ex-wife’s Crystal Enigma shop
The White Horse pub - Open Mic Night
The alley where Lance and his girlfriend Toni walk after his hypnotherapy session
Framlingham is an ancient market town that dates back to the Doomsday book and is a perfect place to stroll, eat, shop and enjoy it’s historic and detectorists’ locations. Framlingham Castle is also a great place to visit or stroll around the Mere, a large lake with great views of the castle. Framlingham also has a history trail that you can enjoy use this town centre map to guide you round the Framlingham sites and Detectorists’ locations:

Me and my old mate from school spent a long weekend following the footsteps of Lance and Andy on a walking weekend the week after this video was posted. We couldn't believe the Town is not trying to trade on it a little. Not only is the programme beautiful, but the Town is too.

I live in Barry, the main filming for Gavin and Stacey. It's great to see the visitors (and locals) enjoying the sites used during the making of the programme. Thanks for the video and tour directions, it's helped big time "I won't lie" Danesbury/Framlingham here we come:-)

[@TedLester-vk1st]

That series was an institution to me. I must go there and has the music been published? The Church with the round tower is a clue as to the exact location. They do speak of Essex and I have visited some during our walks.

[@MrFord4210]

Hi Ted, the round tower is in Aldham, Suffolk, my video shows you a nice walk around the locations there kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmelh5V6rbJ_rJo Search you tube or spotify for the soundtrack for the show.

[@pokemonyo8516]

3:33 Toni is played by Rebecca Callard not Beverly Callard 😗

[@MrFord4210]

Well spotted Nick. Sorry Rebecca. I will be uploading another film in a few days time so I will make sure I have got it right this time! Rebecca is actually the daughter of actress Beverley Callard, who played Liz McDonald in Coronation Street.

4:08 NO THEY WALKED THROUGH THE MIDDLE

[@MrFord4210]

Well spotted.

[@itsmekjt]

@@MrFord4210 it's a local thing

[@ginettechiverton7113]

Beverley Callard is Beckys mum I believe.

[@barbaracleverly9058]

Becky’s mum (in real life also) is played by the actress Diana Rigg of ‘The Avengers’. Sadly she died last year.

[@ginettechiverton7113]

[@digill13]

Diana Rigg is Rachel Stirling's Mum. X
