As travel restrictions ease across the UK and with the new series of Peaky Blinders in production, there’s a growing interest in exploring the UK through the lens of this iconic show. While Peaky Blinders was set in Birmingham, many filming locations are scattered across various parts of the country. Here are some of the most iconic spots frequented by the Shelby family on screen:
Arley Hall & Gardens, Cheshire
This stunning location serves as Tommy Shelby’s grand manor in the series, representing his upward mobility. While it’s been featured prominently throughout the show, it’s worth noting that Arley Hall is actually the historic home of Viscount Ashbrook and his family for over five centuries. Visitors can explore the hall and its TV exhibition, delving deeper into its use in Peaky Blinders and other popular shows.
Keighley and Worth Valley Railway
Fans will recognize this railway from several poignant scenes, including one involving Grace and Inspector Campbell. Nestled in Bronte Country, this railway offers picturesque journeys through landscapes reminiscent of the show’s first season.
Castlefield and Victoria Baths, Manchester
Manchester’s Castlefield area served as a backdrop for the sixth series, with its cobbled streets and historic architecture providing an authentic setting. Additionally, the Grade II* listed Victoria Baths was transformed into a horse fair venue in season two.
Admiral Grove and Powis Street, Liverpool
Liverpool stands in for Small Heath in the series, with locations like Admiral Grove and Powis Street capturing the essence of the Shelby family’s origins. Notably, Admiral Grove is also known for being Ringo Starr’s childhood home.
Port Sunlight, Wirral
Aunt Polly’s suburban home is filmed in Port Sunlight, a model village established in the 1800s to accommodate workers from a nearby soap factory. Visitors can explore this charming village as part of various tours.
Portsoy, Aberdeenshire
This Scottish village underwent a dramatic transformation for the final season of Peaky Blinders, with its 17th-century harbor area serving as a key filming location. Rumor has it that Portsoy will stand in for the remote French territory of Miquelon.
