Beyond the camera
About the real place
Great Haseley is a South Oxfordshire village of stone and brick houses grouped around St Peter's Church, the village green and surrounding farmland. Its traditional street pattern and well-kept community buildings give productions an adaptable setting without the scale of a full market town.
The village is principally residential, with landmarks dispersed along public lanes rather than collected into a visitor centre. It works best as a short stop on a wider Oxfordshire itinerary. Visitors should avoid driveways and private courtyards, even when a building is easy to recognise from an episode.
