Hertford
county town of Hertfordshire, England
🇬🇧 United Kingdom · 51.7950, -0.0780
Hertford is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia article of 1 production — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.
3 productions were filmed at 2 places inside Hertford rather than at Hertford itself — listed below, each with the place it was shot.
“The town of Hertford was used as a stand-in for 1970s Barnstaple, while Saunton Sands in North Devon stood in for the California beach where Peter Bessell (Alex Jennings) lives in a seaside shack.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Hertford as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
Movies and TV series filmed elsewhere in Hertford
3 productions shot at 2 places inside Hertford, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Hertford itself.
- From Hell Goldings estate per Wikipedia 2001
- The Young Victoria Balls Park per Wikipedia 2009
- Wild Child Balls Park per Wikipedia 2008
Named here by Hertford’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Hertford, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

“Actor Rupert Grint comes from Hertford, and although he now lives outside the town, he lived within Hertford when he began filming for the Harry Potter film series.” Wikipedia
