Detectorists filming locations tour - Suffolk and Essex inc Wantisden, Ufford and Gt Glemham

Finding the Detectorists’ locations in Suffolk and Essex. The Detectorists is a charming, british comedy series starring McKenzie Crook and Toby Jones. My film is an affectionate tribute which takes you on a tour of some of the beautiful Suffolk and Essex locations featured in the show and links these to the scenes in the series, including a visit to the Two Brewers. In Suffolk we visit Wantisden, Ufford, Orford, Great Glemham and Paper Mill Lock in Essex.

The Detectorists is a superb comedy, beautifully written, perfectly cast and superbly acted. If you are reading this then you probably have already discovered the show, but if you haven’t watched it yet then I cannot recommend it highly enough to you. Immerse yourself in the world of Lance Stater and Andy Stone and the other members of the DMDC, the Danebury Metal Detecting Club, as they search with their metal detectors for treasure, mostly they only find ring-pulls and toy cars but occasionally they find something special. It is a delightful journey as their various stories gently unfold and inspired me to visit the places that featured as locations in the show. My film, part guide and part tribute, shows you the Suffolk and Essex locations, matched to the scenes in the show with facts and location details.

The Detectorists originally ran for three series which were first shown on tv between October 2014 and December 2017. The scenes that were filmed here feature here include:
