For those whose winter evenings have been consumed by Netflix, Prime, or BBC marathons, the perfect cure for cabin fever may be right outside your door.
Why not lace up your boots and follow in the footsteps of your favourite TV characters? These eight scenic walks inspired by popular shows let you step into the worlds you’ve been binge-watching—literally.
1. Bridgerton – Greenwich, London
Immerse yourself in the Regency-era glamour of Bridgerton by exploring Greenwich. Start by strolling along the Thames before visiting Queen’s House, a familiar sight from the show.
Make your way to Ranger’s House, which served as the iconic Bridgerton family residence. Today, it houses the Wernher Collection and is open to visitors, so you can step into the same rooms Lady Whistledown’s whispers first came to life.
- Route Highlights: Thames Path, Queen’s House, Greenwich Park, and Ranger’s House.
2. One Day – Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill
Whether you’re a fan of David Nicholls’ novel or its Netflix adaptation, this walk brings One Day to life. Start in King’s Cross, wind through Bloomsbury, and head toward Regent’s Park.
Don’t miss Primrose Hill, where Emma and Dexter’s dreamy picnic from Episode 3 took place. It’s the perfect spot for your own reflection—or just a good sandwich.
- Route Highlights: King’s Cross, Bloomsbury, Regent’s Park, Primrose Hill.
3. Sex Education – Symonds Yat, Wye Valley
The lush, cinematic landscapes of Sex Education are not as far away as they appear. This Wye Valley walk starts at Ye Olde Ferrie Inn and meanders through scenic spots, including Dropping Well waterfall, King Arthur’s Cave, and Yat’s Rock.
Keep an eye across the river to spot Otis and Jean’s iconic hillside house nestled among the trees.
- Route Highlights: Ye Olde Ferrie Inn, Dropping Well, King Arthur’s Cave, Yat’s Rock.
4. Peaky Blinders – Birmingham
While much of Peaky Blinders was filmed in Liverpool, a Birmingham route captures the gritty charm of Tommy Shelby’s world.
Explore historic corners of the city, including St. George’s Hall, where one of the show’s most dramatic moments—Grace’s death—was filmed.
The city’s rich industrial heritage and surviving architecture transport you straight into the Shelby family’s stomping grounds.
- Route Highlights: St. George’s Hall, Birmingham’s industrial quarters.
5. All Creatures Great and Small – Yorkshire Dales
The rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales are as much a character in All Creatures Great and Small as James Herriot himself.
This circular route starts in Grassington—the stand-in for Darrowby in the Channel 5 remake—and takes in idyllic villages like Linton. Stop by a cosy pub for a pint, and you’ll feel like you’re living in Herriot’s world.
- Route Highlights: Grassington, Thorpe, Linton.
6. Luther – Seven Sisters, East Sussex
Idris Elba’s brooding detective found refuge in the dramatic landscape of Seven Sisters during a tense two-parter in Luther Season 4.
Follow trails along the iconic chalk cliffs for jaw-dropping views of the coastline. On clear days, the contrast of white cliffs against blue skies is cinematic perfection.
- Route Highlights: Seven Sisters cliffs, Coastguard Cottages.
7. Poldark – Bodmin Moor, Cornwall
Head west to Cornwall to relive the windswept drama of Poldark. Start at Showery Tor and make your way to the peak of Brown Willy—whose name is derived from the Cornish “Bronn Wennili,” meaning Hill of Swallows.
While Aidan Turner’s Ross Poldark might be missing, the rugged scenery offers all the romance and adventure you’ll need.
- Route Highlights: Showery Tor, Brown Willy.
8. Outlander – Falkirk, Scotland
This Scottish route features Callendar House, a historic site that served as Belhurst Manor in Outlander. Nestled in Callendar Park, the 14th-century tower house boasts a working Georgian kitchen and fascinating architecture blending French Renaissance and Scottish baronial styles.
With ties to Mary, Queen of Scots, and Bonnie Prince Charlie, the house’s history is as rich as the show’s plotlines.
- Route Highlights: Callendar House, Callendar Park.
Ready, Set, Walk!
Whether you’re after the rolling hills of the Dales, the brooding cliffs of Seven Sisters, or the cinematic streets of Birmingham, these walks offer a unique way to experience your favourite TV worlds.
Who knows? You might even find a little extra drama of your own along the way.
