Tavistock location for BBC's Beyond Paradise filming today
The streets of Tavistock are filled with talk of a film crew working on a major drama today as parts of the high street were cordoned off for parking.
www.tavistock-today.co.ukHere’s the latest on where Beyond Paradise is filmed in the UK.
- Primary filming location: The show is shot mainly in Cornwall, with Looe serving as the backdrop for the fictional Shipton Abbott. This has been confirmed by multiple outlets and local coverage.[1][7]
- Other West Country spots: In addition to Looe, filming has taken place across Devon and Cornwall, including locations such as Tavistock, Bere Ferrers, Weir Quay, Port Eliot Estate, and Bodmin, as crews move between coastal towns and countryside settings to create the series’ feel.[2][5][10][1]
- Notable interiors/exteriors: Some scenes use local landmarks and municipal spaces (for example, a town hall or police-station facades) adapted for the show’s police drama setting, with several castles and estates standing in for various locations around Shipton Abbott.[3][5][1]
Illustrative example: Looe on the Cornish coast often doubles as Shipton Abbott, featuring its harbor and riverside scenery as key visual anchors for the series.[7]
