NETFLIX hit Bridgerton has captured the hearts and imaginations of audiences across the globe and now Somerset fans can find themselves closer to the action than most.

A new book entitled Bridgerton’s Bath is set to help visitors to the city discover the elegance of the Georgian era as they explore the show’s magnificent filming locations.

In this companion title to the book Bridgerton’s England, author Antonia Hicks takes a more in-depth look at the Bath settings used as a backdrop for the drama.

The book also includes a feature on how the series was filmed in the city and contains a detailed map so fans can follow their own Bridgerton Walking Tour.

Somerset County Gazette:

Antonia, a passionate fan of Bridgerton, graduated from Oxford University with a degree in Ancient and Modern History. Her dissertation ‘Perceptions of adultery and marriage within the epistolary culture of the late 18th century’ involved original research into the letters of the Duchess of Devonshire.

Setting Bridgerton apart from similar period dramas is its extensive use of location shooting. Thanks to Bath’s abundance of period architecture, it has been used to pose as various parts of fashionable London.

Taken from the book, here are five places eagle-eyed viewers might recognise from the programme.
