Father Brown’s BBC1 world of pretty Cotswold stone, little lanes and a traditional country church can be found in real life just an hour from Birmingham. The filming location for the crime comedy caper is on the Worcestershire border.


The hidden village of Blockley lies between Broadway in Worcestershire and Moreton-in-Marsh in Gloucestershire.

In the photo gallery below, we take a look at this peaceful place of beauty surrounded by the stunning English countryside.
