Fictional geography · verified filming records

One county, many real places.

Midsomer is fictional. Its 99 principal settings are assembled from a growing Casebook map of 26 real filming areas.

Composite county town

Causton cannot be found on one map.

Wallingford, Thame and other Home Counties locations supply different streets, civic buildings and institutions. Signs, camera angles and art direction persuade us that the pieces belong together.

International exception

The hundredth case really left England.

The Killings of Copenhagen combines a Badger's Drift business with unmistakable locations in the Danish capital.

Screen identity

The same building can acquire a new life.

A pub, manor or civic building may return under another fictional name. The identity desk records the real site and every supported screen role separately.
