Three useful shapes for a location day
Start with the time you genuinely have. These are editorial outlines rather than turn-by-turn directions.
Causton in three hours
Keep the file centred on Wallingford: the market town streets, Corn Exchange and Thames-side atmosphere.
Open Wallingford file →Market town and village loop
Use the detailed sequence below to connect Wallingford, Warborough and Dorchester-on-Thames without treating the day as a race.
Jump to the route →Manors, markets and changing identities
Pair this loop with a second day chosen from the location directory. Build around verified public access, not a screen appearance alone.

Wallingford
Begin in Causton
Start around the market square and Corn Exchange, then follow the public streets towards the Thames. Allow time for breakfast and orientation.

Warborough
Badger's Drift country
Make a short, respectful stop around the village green. The Six Bells is strongly associated with the screen village; check current opening hours before relying on lunch.

Dorchester-on-Thames
Abbey and village streets
Explore the abbey area and established public paths. Keep the afternoon flexible enough for openings, weather and an unhurried riverside walk.

Wallingford
Close the file
Return to the starting point, leaving a buffer for traffic and a final café stop. Never let a fictional murder timetable ruin a real train home.
