This is brilliant. I am on my fourth time round.But fifty times?, That gives me something to aim at!. I honestly believe anybody stressed in their life could benefit from being prescribed to watch detectorists. Calming, whimsical, understated, beautifully written and acted. And what a theme tune!
I'm on series 3 saving it for Xmas 23 as nothing will be on will it....but will I make it stretch?! Absolutely loving6thisis mentally calming u just forget about everything sheer bliss.... More please there has to be more 😢
Thank you, Rick and Heather. I really enjoyed this video and it will be mighty helpful for when I make this pilgrimage. My wife and I both fell in love with Detectorists and we, also, believe this is the greatest drama on tv. It’s so refreshing to see a drama that doesn’t rely on the cheap, repetitive thrills of murder, guns and car chases. Please, McKenzie, bring us more drama based on intelligent observation, excellent writing, superb direction and inspirational acting! 🙏🏻
This randomly came up on my feed and to say I was delighted is an understatement. I absolutely adore the Detectorists. If anything, the vid was not long enough and what a stunning area that is. I did notice some movement in the bushes on occassion and can only conclude Simon and Garfunkel had you under surveillance? Nice job.
I discovered this show three days ago and iI’ve watched it completely through once and started it for the second time. I am in the US and had never heard of it but my daughter found it and sent me a link since my husband is a dectorist aka relic hunter. I am really enjoyed seeing the actual little town. I am amazed that everything is so close and so small. The streets look much wider on the television. I love that you are such a huge fan and I’ve watched it so many times. Your enthusiasm is wonderful.
Just discovered this show and have binge watched the entire series and now on round two. As an expat, I love the incredible characters-smart, curious, quirky, genuine, authentic, intriguing, hilarious, empathic-real humans with all the foibles, hopes and dreams. Incredible show, cast, filming locations, has it all. Thanks for this-great to see the quaint villages-I miss that about England. Take care, feel like taking up detectionism (if that is a word) as a hobby now! Lisa, Ontario Canada 🇬🇧🇨🇦❤️🌟
You’re welcome I’m glad you enjoyed it, there’s a one off Christmas special this Christmas we’re looking forward to and we’re also returning to the area ourselves in May 2023 to see a few more locations! Glad you enjoyed it and we helped you see a little of what you miss! Take care 😊
@@RickandHeather Thanks Rick and Heather. Subsribed to your channel also! Can see even more of the history, heritage and landscape I miss. Emigrated with family when just a teen- but miss all the countryside, wildlife, British shows, especially history and mystery. Loved the Detectorists. We have a young country in Canada with little to pick up through metal detection. Our oldest history Is Indigenous culture, mostly items made from wood and pottery as well as villages to unearth. Most is oral storytelling and narrative- but incredibly important to our Canadian culture. Lisa, Canada ❤️
@@nature12487 thanks for subscribing, we’re not the best TH-cam channel but we have fun trying 😊 hopefully you stick around and pick a few you like. Canada isn’t all bad either, you have Ryan Reynolds Pamela Anderson and ermmmmm 🤣 take care Lisa ❤️🇨🇦
I'm only half way through and feel the need to say thank you. I'm going to binge it again in one day, one of my favourite things to do with snacks and good drinks, whether it's tea or alcohol. Thank you!
I only started watching this series about a month ago. I absolutely love it, Lost count how many times I've watched it now. Definitely on my list of places to visit. Great job👏🏻
Great video; we love the show too. Good job you went when you did as some things have changed since then. 1) The Lemon Tree cafe is renamed and is now a posh restaurant. 2) The trees in the church yard (including the tree Andy hid behind) were chopped down after the brick wall collapsed (the council believed the tree roots caused it) 3) The electrical shop has closed (the owner retired after 42 years in business) 4) The scout hut has been replaced by a modern (and lifeless) building. Oh, and one other thing: Lance's flat is currently up for sale!!!!
Wonderful. I only just finished watching the whole lot again on DVD. It is such a quaint and laid back show. It's great to watch and the writing and acting is first class. Really surprised how near to each other the locations are in the village. Also how Andy's hiding tree is only a stones throw from the lemon tree restaurant. Fancy the other locations being forty miles away. I expected you to pass Andy, as he worked killing weeds with just water along the roadside. Brilliant series. Hear Mackenzie might be up for filming a fourth season yet. Cheers 😁
Ahhh yes we love the show, I’m hearing he may indeed revisit for s4 I’m unsure if it’s a good thing or not, it was so perfect as is I’d be tempted to leave it be. But I won’t say no if he does revisit 👍 we loved visiting the locations and documenting them here. Thanks for watching 🏴☠️
This is a lovely insight into all the main locations. Whoever found them for the production company did a superb job in finding so many locations in one village. Thank you for the video, it is very interesting as I am a great fan of the Detectorists.
Really awesome to see not just the locations itself but also the surrounding areas. Good job! As a metaldetector (sorry, metaldetectorist) myself I love the TV show. Have to watch at least once a year.
@@RickandHeather Yes, looking forward to it, though hope it'll be on TV here in the Netherlands. We do have BBC but it is altered for dutch market (subtitles, dutch commercials) and don't know if the programming is the same as in the UK. Hope to visit Framlingham and some of the other sites myself also some day. Last visit to the UK was well before the TV-series. Thanks again!
Discovered Detectorists in 2023 so I'm way behind on all of this. Wanted to say though that this video is still great for new fans and I'll probably watch it over. Its really useful and informative and I'll probably go to one or two of the places you visited knowing now they're close together and easy to get around. Thanks for putting it on TH-cam guys great work
Thx for the trip. I absolutely love Detectorists. My daughter lives not far from Framlingham. I was there last week with the grandkids. Andy’s tree has been chopped down !!!! Also the scout huts gone, they’ve built a new one 😢.
Didn’t know about this programme on TV. I must live under a rock 🤣🤣 We are off to Framingham this weekend with our van. I hope we find some gold 😉 Trev
Excellent. The tree! Great series. Me and Bri also enjoyed watching The Detectorists, but I take it you’ve watched it a few times to recall all that detail. As for Framlingham Castle that has its own recent claim to fame through Ed Sheehan’s song ‘Castle on the Hill’. All the best to you both and I hope Rick’s got his voice back!
We binge watched all the the episodes and both Christmas specials last week. Wonderful performances in a great show. Just watched your video. Well done sir 👏👏
Thank you for filming this. I really enjoyed seeing a real view of the town, and not a cinema view. I was waiting for a trampoline to come rolling by when you were in the field. The DMDC even had the finds table in it. It looks the same. Pretty cool
Enjoyed watching your video. My wife and I were supporting artists in series 2 of Detectorists and we'd never heard of it before we went for filming but we were hooked on it after that. It was interesting seeing the locations again where we spent many hours with the rest of the cast.
Ahhh excellent! I’m sure you’re aware but there’s a Detectorists Facebook page and a few people who worked on the show pop up occasionally (not big stars but location people etc) you may enjoy it. Which scenes were you in?
I absolutely love this series. This area is on my work patch and get to drive round here on a regular basis. It's lovely country. Ideal for the series. Very lucky to live and work in such a lovely area. Ps your motor home is obviously loving our 'crunchy' Suffolk roads!
Looks like you were not far from the cottage they bought on Woodbridge Road? The shepherds hut, just caught in the distance on your video, is very similar in build.
Not sure on the cottage, the shepherds hut was sort of the excuse we were using if we got caught as it’s a wedding venue we were going to say we were checking it out for a friend 🤣
I'm selling my narrowboat and I'm looking at buying a campervan and I'm a MASSIVE Detectorists fan...not sure which one made you pop up on my recommendations but I'm so glad you did. Subscribed and already planning my first trip to Framlingham! Will catch up on your other vids too :)
Are you sure it’s not a ship…? Well, we’re back in Fram in May for my birthday again so I’ll film more, I hope the van idea works out, anything I can help with just ask 😊 pub?
Thanks Rick & Heather, I am an ex pat too, found the seires and love it. I miss England and the British humour. Thanks for this walk about. .......Owen Ontario, Canada.
I wish to complain most strongly about the length of this video.....its far too short, brilliant scenes absolutely love detectorists thanks very much for this..
Great video. It really felt like you captured some second hand magic of the show at times. I've had plans to do something similar on our next trip to England, but it would have meant a serious detour as our end destination is always Plymouth where we have friiends living. Now I sort of feel like I've done it already! So the itinerary for the next trip will be Dover-Salisbury-Plymouth (I want to visit Old Sarum because of the Edward Rutherfurd novel). Many thanks from a Detectorists fan in Belgium.
Thank you thank you thank you. Love the programme. Will be in our camper in the area mid June so will use your video as reference and do a bit of a tour.
@@RickandHeather did you find a guide book or something similar? My wife is into Midsomer Murders and we found a guide book when visiting Oxford. Surprising what has been filmed in and around Midsomer😎
@@RickandHeather Not yet, but looking forward to it. Watching the first part was a very pleasant support to recovering from my latest bout of covid : )
My favourite television show, ever. And yes, I too revisit Danebury every so often thru all 3 seasons. What's not to love? Thanks so much for this Detectorists tour, brilliant! It's amazing to see all the film sites. I think I'd need a moment under that tree. Maybe even need a tissue. LOL Thanks again Rick and Heather. ATB
Nice walk around my home town and surrounding area and lovely video. Well done Becky’s mums house was only about a 1 minute drive where you parked in town and the train station was actually Saxmundham station that you was very close to. Always wondered why the castle didn’t feature. Perhaps it was an issue of sorts with English Heritage. It does have lots of history and where Mary Tudor was proclaimed first queen of England
I’m going back in May to do a few more locations, I’m guessing the castle didn’t feature because the fictional area was decided not to have one? Does seem strange.
@Rick and Heather - Pearl The CV20 hope you enjoy the trip back. You won't recognise the scout hall now. Completely refurbished and I wondered if that was the reference to the scout hall being refurbished in the latest special. The "scout hut" is actually a community hall. The actual Fram scout hut is around the corner in Badingham Road. The Crown Hotel in town is where the cast stayed when filming. I was lucky to have had a chat with Mackenzie in the Station pub while filming the Christmas special. He was in there with Toby. Really lovely humble guy. He was in the Crown having breakfast the next morning when I was in there with my wife for a coffee
@@Mikes_Travels yeah many people on the Detectorists Facebook group say he’s lovely which is always nice to hear, yes the community rooms I knew had been demolished they’ve been selling bits off to fans, also in the special you can see they’re actually standing at the corner by the Castle pub just up from St Michael’s and if you look carefully can see the fence around the new building. I believe the interior was another local community room re dressed to look similar but it seems smaller on the tv.
@Agatha And Anything I think the interior was the Community room at Great Glemham. The money made from selling off bits of the old community room went towards the building costs of the new one 😊
Watched all of it thanks for filming this and for your time looking into all the places. Great job thank you. New feature length episode being filmed this summer can’t wait
Never watched it, too busy making videos. However, we both really enjoyed this and are now intrigued about the series. Well done guys, great job. Tony and Claire.
so i watched the second video first which is confusing because the scout hut is now replaced and andys tree has been cut down but it all makes sense when i tried to find the locations on google makes so thanks for all the hard work you have done thanks i will visit now
Cracking video, thanks a lot for this. I'm planning on visiting this area on my motorcycle this summer, if we get one that is. Ha. Massive detectorists fan here also. This video has been such a help. Thanks. Fingers crossed they make more episodes.
Thank you for your video. I know the area and have frequented the Jolly Sailor in Orford in the past. Shame you couldn’t get there. But it’s a lovely memory ride for me.
Great video. I'm a detectorists nut too since my son put me onto it. Cant help but keep watching it. Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Sadly since you filmed this the scout hut is no more. Thanks again. Both stay safe x
I took my sister on a surprise visit to many filming locations a couple of weeks ago, I used your video for many pointers. The scout hut has not been flattenned and replaced with a modern building, but more surprisingly the trees in the churchyard have all been cut down in the past couple of weeks.
Lovely video! I’ve been bingeing the show over the last few days and I’m absolutely besotted. Been looking for somewhere cute to go and do some writing, might double it up as a nosey at the set and try here. Do you know if there’s a train station nearby?
I didn’t know but google suggests it’s not far….. It’s easy to reach Framlingham Castle by rail. Hop on a train to Wickham Market, which is served by Greater Anglia services from Ipswich and Lowestoft. Hope this helps 😊
Thanks guys, for bringing to life so many locations I've only visited on Google Earth. When you go back in May why not pay Larry Bishop a call?... But beware of the dogs!!
Just thoroughly enjoyed watching your video, thank you. What a lovely little adventure for your birthday! I've recently watched this brilliant series 2nd time around... no match for a super fan like yourself but its definitely one of the best things to come out of the beeb, beautifully written and acted. It also introduced me to the wonderful music of Johnny Flynn and The Unthanks. Very best regards my friends 👍 x
It’s strange how familiar it all is. On a more personal note, we emigrated a couple of years ago and when i’m asked if I miss anything of England, my answer is always the same. I still love the sights and sounds of these English villages. There are so many small things which simply dont exist where we now live. The church you walked past has a damp mossy pathway leading to it, surrounded by trees and birds singing. The row of massive chestnuts. The blackbird. All of that has a smell, a sight and a feel to it which doesn’t exist anywhere else. I miss English woodland. I think i’ll visit this year and spend more time just loitering .
@@RickandHeather I loved nothing more than spending days just hanging around the medieval villages in Sussex and Kent. Couldn’t get enough. There’s so much history going right back to flint and everything about them has a value of its own. I think, apart from adoring Toby Jones in anything he does and the evident absolute genious of the series itself, that this is the main reason I really enjoyed Detectorists. Thanks so much for making the effort to bring it all back to life for me.
Wonderful tour! Yes I watched the whole thing. I envied you the whole time as well. What an absolutely wonderful series this was! We only discovered it just before lock down. A shame some of these businesses have not capitalized on the shows popularity. I mean if I lived in Lances flat I would have to drive a yellow TR 7!😂 It is a bit of a pitch to get there from California.
@@RickandHeather Oh dear that is ashamed. Sounds very much like how they tend to do things here. Knock down the old. Put up something cheap and ugly. Not that the Scout Hut was an architectural gem, even still for the sake of the show’s popularity, I would have reclaimed it as a Detectorists shop, and sell DMDC Camo fleeces there! Maybe sell Lemonade. Perhaps put a bathing poor with sand in it…My mind races!
@@RickandHeather I was until yesterday, they cept removing my posts regarding an episode of worzel gummidge where the tr7 and 2 detectorists are in the background in a field, so left the group
@@Greengrass1972 I think he’s pretty strict on keeping worzel stuff in 1 place. There’s a pinned thread about it. I got told off for posting the tennis girl picture (dad, she’s got no knickers on)
@@RickandHeather awesome !!! I love that show so much, like you I was totally a little fanboy just watching it! I found a load more places if you're Intested ??
@@RickandHeather right after watching this video I found series one on TH-cam and decided to have a watch, my watch list now has series one. Unfortunately I am MacKenzie Crook's doopleganger when he was in the office 😂
Enjoyed this video thanks! Does anyone know were the Open Mic was filmed? I know they use the Kings Head Orford, The Crown, Great Glemham, The White Lion, ufford, The Castle Inn and Railway Inn - Fram, but not sure which one was used for the Open Mic?
I'm like you. I loved watching it. I've watched every episode 4 times over in the last 3 weeks. Brilliant acting by all the cast. Mackenzie Crook done a brilliant job writing and directing it. After watching it for the first time I ordered my Nokta makro Simplex detector. Had it 2 weeks now. Still got to go out on my first dig. I've read that they are making another series of it. Should be end of this year. Series 4
Like me you're excited for the new Christmas special coming soon then! it really is a great show my favourite of all time i think. Thanks for watching.
Just foundd youe video & throughly enjoyed - thank you guys & doggies!! Ive only watched the entire 3 series 4 times so ive a little catching up to you😂 It must be both really weired & brilliant at thr same time to visit a place that we've watched on such a great program & fully understand you loosing your voice & breath a few times as id nw the same! Id love to visit framlingham in my very old rare audi quattro rally car & take some great pictures (ill try not to wake the dead up in it!!🤦🏼♂️) Where would i go about getting a comprehensive guide to the correct locations please chap if you dont mind me asking? Thanks for your upload & a great video 💯👌🏼👍🏼 Marco.

Mackenzie actually found the hawking whistle used in the scene where the field goes back in time during a filming break but on set all detectors are turned off to stop distractions 👍
thx we enjoyed your tour and wondered whether you dared perhaps to spend an overnighter at the spot where the Mayor lost his chain? also we noticed how your woof morphed en route (or was there perchance a 'stunt' woof? xxx
Ahh the lab! Stayed in the van for a lot of the vlog (sadly no longer with us) very wobbly legs for much walking and yes 2 dogs but now just 1 unfortunately
Look on Street View and the Scout Hut still visible, but on Google Earth normal satellite view, gone being converted to housing estate. How very sad, hope Scouts got a new hut out of the sale somewhere.
Just had to watch the program to see what it's about , very good watched 6 episodes 👌, ...its a bit ironic I have got my hands on a yellow TR7 ha ha 😂😄 flipping heck 😆🤣
@@RickandHeather I must admit I have really enjoyed it so far , I will have to watch it all now , just never even heard of it before but its so good "great recommendation" cheers for the info 🙂👍
Perspective….
Lack of? I’m lost…. If I said something I can’t recall (filmed this over a year ago) 😊
I have no idea why I keep saying it wrong 😂

I'm selling my narrowboat and I'm looking at buying a campervan and I'm a MASSIVE Detectorists fan...not sure which one made you pop up on my recommendations but I'm so glad you did. Subscribed and already planning my first trip to Framlingham! Will catch up on your other vids too :)
Are you sure it’s not a ship…?
Well, we’re back in Fram in May for my birthday again so I’ll film more, I hope the van idea works out, anything I can help with just ask 😊 pub?
Mackenzie crook is fantastic who would have thought the geek from the office could make such great television😁🙏🏼
Yep it’s fantastic
Thanks Rick & Heather, I am an ex pat too, found the seires and love it. I miss England and the British humour. Thanks for this walk about. .......Owen Ontario, Canada.
You’re welcome thanks for watching and glad we bought you a little bit of home
Awesome I love the show Love the locations Thank you very much for sharing I live across the pond
Thanks 🙏 I hope you get to see the special soon. I’m off back to the locations in2023 😊
I wish to complain most strongly about the length of this video.....its far too short, brilliant scenes absolutely love detectorists thanks very much for this..
Haha thanks! I’m going back in May to film some more 😊
Great video. It really felt like you captured some second hand magic of the show at times.
I've had plans to do something similar on our next trip to England, but it would have meant a serious detour as our end destination is always Plymouth where we have friiends living.
Now I sort of feel like I've done it already!
So the itinerary for the next trip will be Dover-Salisbury-Plymouth (I want to visit Old Sarum because of the Edward Rutherfurd novel).
Many thanks from a Detectorists fan in Belgium.
Thanks for the kind words, yeah it was a true fanboy day…. There’s a revisit video too with more locations a couple of years later
Well done, I’ve also loved the show, and hope to visit some of the locations 😊
It’s great we’re going back in May
Thank you thank you thank you. Love the programme. Will be in our camper in the area mid June so will use your video as reference and do a bit of a tour.
You’re very welcome 👍 it was great to visit.
@@RickandHeather did you find a guide book or something similar? My wife is into Midsomer Murders and we found a guide book when visiting Oxford. Surprising what has been filmed in and around Midsomer😎
The locations are all on google maps if you type in Detectorists filming locations 👍
@@RickandHeather thank you. Technology is a wonderful thing, when you know what to do😊👍
Great! Thanks for recording your pilgrimage! It is a fitting tribute to the series!
You’re welcome! Did you watch part 2 the revisit?
@@RickandHeather Not yet, but looking forward to it. Watching the first part was a very pleasant support to recovering from my latest bout of covid : )
@@Amogharatna ahhh no! Well, glad we helped, there’s a few gems in the second and a huge disappointment for me!
Great video. Thanks, lovely to see. Just finished detectorists and loved it.
You’re welcome! I’m quite a fan…. Pub? 😂
I’m a big fan of the show as well and a detectorist so this is awesome thank you for doing this!
You’re welcome don’t forget to check the second one!
My favourite television show, ever. And yes, I too revisit Danebury every so often thru all 3 seasons. What's not to love? Thanks so much for this Detectorists tour, brilliant!
It's amazing to see all the film sites. I think I'd need a moment under that tree. Maybe even need a tissue. LOL
Thanks again Rick and Heather. ATB
Thanks for watching! You’re welcome and we’ll be back there soon ourselves
huge fan here too,. so much so.. I moved to Suffolk
What you got? 😂
@@RickandHeather pub??
@@julieblackstock8650 go on then…..
Nice walk around my home town and surrounding area and lovely video. Well done
Becky’s mums house was only about a 1 minute drive where you parked in town and the train station was actually Saxmundham station that you was very close to.
Always wondered why the castle didn’t feature. Perhaps it was an issue of sorts with English Heritage. It does have lots of history and where Mary Tudor was proclaimed first queen of England
I’m going back in May to do a few more locations, I’m guessing the castle didn’t feature because the fictional area was decided not to have one? Does seem strange.
@Rick and Heather - Pearl The CV20 hope you enjoy the trip back. You won't recognise the scout hall now. Completely refurbished and I wondered if that was the reference to the scout hall being refurbished in the latest special. The "scout hut" is actually a community hall. The actual Fram scout hut is around the corner in Badingham Road.
The Crown Hotel in town is where the cast stayed when filming.
I was lucky to have had a chat with Mackenzie in the Station pub while filming the Christmas special. He was in there with Toby. Really lovely humble guy. He was in the Crown having breakfast the next morning when I was in there with my wife for a coffee
@@Mikes_Travels yeah many people on the Detectorists Facebook group say he’s lovely which is always nice to hear, yes the community rooms I knew had been demolished they’ve been selling bits off to fans, also in the special you can see they’re actually standing at the corner by the Castle pub just up from St Michael’s and if you look carefully can see the fence around the new building.
I believe the interior was another local community room re dressed to look similar but it seems smaller on the tv.
@Agatha And Anything I think the interior was the Community room at Great Glemham. The money made from selling off bits of the old community room went towards the building costs of the new one 😊
@@Mikes_Travels yes that’s right and I did think it was that place, I’ll have a look when I go back in may
Watched all of it thanks for filming this and for your time looking into all the places. Great job thank you. New feature length episode being filmed this summer can’t wait
Thanks for watching! I loved visiting and yes can’t wait for the special episode
Never watched it, too busy making videos. However, we both really enjoyed this and are now intrigued about the series. Well done guys, great job. Tony and Claire.
It’s a wonderful series still available on iPlayer. We love it. (As is evident 😂) cheers both hope Freddie is ok now!
@@RickandHeather Still working on Freddie, hopefully he'll be back soon. Take care. We'll check out the series!
so i watched the second video first which is confusing because the scout hut is now replaced and andys tree has been cut down but it all makes sense when i tried to find the locations on google makes so thanks for all the hard work you have done thanks i will visit now
Yeah I guess it’s a bit weird watching them backwards although I get younger 🤣
You looked like a “child in a sweet shop,” in a good way. Never watched The Detectorists but feel like we now need to as we have seen the locations.
I’m not joking when I say I’ve watched it 50 times easy. It’s on iPlayer and worth a try.
@@RickandHeather and I thought I was bad watching it approximately 10 times. Absolutely fantastic program. Went to framlingham a couple of days ago.
It’s great isn’t it!
what a comfortable series .........need more !!!!!!
I’m thinking the special we saw at Christmas is the last sadly but never say never!
Oh wow that’s awesome thank you so much I love this program can’t stop watching it so relaxing ready to rumble😂😂
There’s a second video too…. Pub?
@@RickandHeather
I wonder if they’ll ever make another episode?
@@jakeroadtonowhere4070 you saw the 2022 special I assume? That was the last and they have sold all the props including the car so doubtful
Cracking video, thanks a lot for this. I'm planning on visiting this area on my motorcycle this summer, if we get one that is. Ha. Massive detectorists fan here also. This video has been such a help. Thanks. Fingers crossed they make more episodes.
You’re welcome although I think this Christmas special was the last unfortunately
Thank you for your video. I know the area and have frequented the Jolly Sailor in Orford in the past. Shame you couldn’t get there. But it’s a lovely memory ride for me.
Isn’t the interior of the brewers filmed at the Crown? I’m going back in May 😊
@@RickandHeather oh is it? I thought it was the Jolly.
Great video. I'm a detectorists nut too since my son put me onto it. Cant help but keep watching it. Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Sadly since you filmed this the scout hut is no more. Thanks again. Both stay safe x
Yes I know! Sad that but I’m going back in May for another visit 👍
@@RickandHeather great look forward to another video. Enjoy 👍
When travelling between Fram and Orford, you should try to stop-off in Saxmundham at the station, which was used as Henburystone Station.
We’re going back in May to do a few more 👍
Hi, great video, I had my van motd the other day in Framlingham and Lance's TR 7 was in the garage, it was sold for over £30000
That’s right Mackenzie Crook donated it to children in need and it was auctioned by Mathewsons (Bangers and Cash) someone local to Fram bought it.
I took my sister on a surprise visit to many filming locations a couple of weeks ago, I used your video for many pointers. The scout hut has not been flattenned and replaced with a modern building, but more surprisingly the trees in the churchyard have all been cut down in the past couple of weeks.
Yes I know! Sad times.
I am from Felixstowe which is about 25 minutes from framlingham and this show hits so close to home for me, its a great little town
I love the area, can’t wait to go back in May
Lovely video! I’ve been bingeing the show over the last few days and I’m absolutely besotted. Been looking for somewhere cute to go and do some writing, might double it up as a nosey at the set and try here. Do you know if there’s a train station nearby?
I didn’t know but google suggests it’s not far…..
It’s easy to reach Framlingham Castle by rail. Hop on a train to Wickham Market, which is served by Greater Anglia services from Ipswich and Lowestoft.
Hope this helps 😊
Sorted out the pump intermittent fault by cleaning the filter. The filter cap was also loose 😂
Excellent news!
Thanks guys, for bringing to life so many locations I've only visited on Google Earth. When you go back in May why not pay Larry Bishop a call?... But beware of the dogs!!
Stupid animals! Ex forensic sniffer dogs…. 🤣 thanks for watching and commenting glad you enjoyed it 👍
Just thoroughly enjoyed watching your video, thank you. What a lovely little adventure for your birthday! I've recently watched this brilliant series 2nd time around... no match for a super fan like yourself but its definitely one of the best things to come out of the beeb, beautifully written and acted. It also introduced me to the wonderful music of Johnny Flynn and The Unthanks. Very best regards my friends 👍 x
Lovely of you to say, we’re going back in May, 2 years on for my birthday again 😊
Went there yesterday, had a drink in the 2 Brewers, and the scout hut has been replaced
Yep I know and Andy’s tree chopped down too! We’re going back in May, thanks for watching 😊
Brilliant both! This is what I was thinking of doing, amazing to find the tree - well done for that.
There’s a map online if you do a google search for Detectorists filming locations 👍
@@RickandHeather That's brill - good to know, thanks so much for doing the video on the locations, I really enjoyed it
@@Daz_K you’re welcome it’s 18 months ago but we’ve had a resurgence since the special 😊
Love looking around this areas. How did you hear of where they filmed etc? I'd love a map like you. Got a download? Thx
If you google Detectorists location map it’s on google 😊
@@RickandHeather Brilliant, thank you.
It’s strange how familiar it all is. On a more personal note, we emigrated a couple of years ago and when i’m asked if I miss anything of England, my answer is always the same. I still love the sights and sounds of these English villages. There are so many small things which simply dont exist where we now live. The church you walked past has a damp mossy pathway leading to it, surrounded by trees and birds singing. The row of massive chestnuts. The blackbird. All of that has a smell, a sight and a feel to it which doesn’t exist anywhere else. I miss English woodland. I think i’ll visit this year and spend more time just loitering .
I think it’s something we take for granted until we realise it’s not there, truly understand what you mean, England on a good day is pretty perfect 👍
@@RickandHeather I loved nothing more than spending days just hanging around the medieval villages in Sussex and Kent. Couldn’t get enough. There’s so much history going right back to flint and everything about them has a value of its own. I think, apart from adoring Toby Jones in anything he does and the evident absolute genious of the series itself, that this is the main reason I really enjoyed Detectorists. Thanks so much for making the effort to bring it all back to life for me.
@@LysanderLH you’re welcome! Stay tuned as we’re returning in May to film more 😊
Great work👍house boat location? Essex!
Yeah the locations are all over! I’ve been doing Hot Fuzz locations today 🦢
I hope series 4 is produced. Love Love Love the series❤
Highly unlikely I fear. The last special in 2022 was reported to be it, all the props including the car were sold off for charity
We were visiting Framlingham in early November 2022 and the new village hall rebuild had begun.
I’m going back in May 😊
That was so much fun.
Thanks
Aww thanks for watching I appreciate it, we did enjoy doing it and are going back in May 2023 👍
Brilliant 😳 now I’ve got to search for the Detectorists ...... Suze will be pleased 🤪😂😂😂
It’s on iPlayer
Wonderful tour! Yes I watched the whole thing. I envied you the whole time as well. What an absolutely wonderful series this was! We only discovered it just before lock down. A shame some of these businesses have not capitalized on the shows popularity. I mean if I lived in Lances flat I would have to drive a yellow TR 7!😂 It is a bit of a pitch to get there from California.
Are you on the Detectorists Facebook group? It really was a great visit so glad we saw it before the scout hut was knocked down 👍
@@RickandHeather Oh dear that is ashamed. Sounds very much like how they tend to do things here. Knock down the old. Put up something cheap and ugly. Not that the Scout Hut was an architectural gem, even still for the sake of the show’s popularity, I would have reclaimed it as a Detectorists shop, and sell DMDC Camo fleeces there! Maybe sell Lemonade. Perhaps put a bathing poor with sand in it…My mind races!
I meant to say “pool”, not poor.
@@RickandHeather I have joined now, so thank you for the information about the FB group.
@@johnc6809 see you on there 👍
Absolutely brilliant, thank you for that journey, I live five and a half hour drive to there, I'd love to do it, take care both
Thanks it was good to finally get there!

@@Greengrass1972 yes! Are you on the Detectorists Facebook group?
@@RickandHeather I was until yesterday, they cept removing my posts regarding an episode of worzel gummidge where the tr7 and 2 detectorists are in the background in a field, so left the group
@@Greengrass1972 I think he’s pretty strict on keeping worzel stuff in 1 place. There’s a pinned thread about it. I got told off for posting the tennis girl picture (dad, she’s got no knickers on)
Great video!!!!
Surprised you missed the houses and Andys flat.
They weren’t on our map but we’re going back in May!
@@RickandHeather awesome !!! I love that show so much, like you I was totally a little fanboy just watching it!
I found a load more places if you're Intested ??

We love it. Available on iPlayer
@@RickandHeather right after watching this video I found series one on TH-cam and decided to have a watch, my watch list now has series one. Unfortunately I am MacKenzie Crook's doopleganger when he was in the office 😂
Good for you not apologising and totally get it! Hope they make series 4.
Doubtful but thanks. Did you watch the updated location visit?
@@RickandHeather yes brilliant thank you 🙏
Enjoyed this video thanks! Does anyone know were the Open Mic was filmed? I know they use the Kings Head Orford, The Crown, Great Glemham, The White Lion, ufford, The Castle Inn and Railway Inn - Fram, but not sure which one was used for the Open Mic?
No idea but if you ask on the Facebook group someone will know
I'm like you. I loved watching it. I've watched every episode 4 times over in the last 3 weeks. Brilliant acting by all the cast. Mackenzie Crook done a brilliant job writing and directing it. After watching it for the first time I ordered my Nokta makro Simplex detector. Had it 2 weeks now. Still got to go out on my first dig. I've read that they are making another series of it. Should be end of this year. Series 4
Like me you're excited for the new Christmas special coming soon then! it really is a great show my favourite of all time i think. Thanks for watching.
@@RickandHeather yep we wait in anticipation for the Christmas series. I don't know if it's just one episode or a series.
1x 75 minute episode
@@RickandHeather Thanks. That will be brilliant can't wait. I wish you both all the best. And thanks for sharing your video. Much appreciated 👍👍

I wasn’t as pleased at the last special to be honest
You should have popped in for a brew ! Best wishes Lance
Tea with sugar?
Lovely video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching 🙏
Isn’t Framlingham was where Ed Sheeran was brought up also? And his song Castle on the hill about the castle there?
Yes that’s correct 👍
I now live in Mansfield, Ohio. Loads of people come round to see all the spots in Shawshank Redemption. Suppose they have the same round 'Danebury'.

Look on Street View and the Scout Hut still visible, but on Google Earth normal satellite view, gone being converted to housing estate. How very sad, hope Scouts got a new hut out of the sale somewhere.
It’s not houses, it’s a new community room.
Oh good news, Scouts should still have somewhere to go. Plus could be used in new filming if a new series appears.
Just had to watch the program to see what it's about , very good watched 6 episodes 👌, ...its a bit ironic I have got my hands on a yellow TR7 ha ha 😂😄 flipping heck 😆🤣
