As crime dramas go you can always rely on ITV’s popular murder mystery series Midsomer Murders<\/em> to provide entertaining, bizarre and particularly gruesome murders. The imagination of the script writers shows no bounds. <\/p> However it has also become just as famous for its beautiful scenery as its memorable murders. <\/p> The majority of Midsomer Murders<\/em> is usually filmed in rural Oxfordshire<\/a><\/strong> <\/a>and Buckinghamshire<\/strong><\/a><\/p> Oxfordshire’s historic town of Wallingford doubles up as the fictional Causton – Midsomer County’s main town. Viewers will be all too familiar with the market square. <\/p> However not all Causton scenes are filmed here.<\/p> If Causton Crown Court is needed the old County Hall in Kingston-upon-Thames is used, while the Grade II listed Corn Exchange in Wallingford has stepped in many times as Causton\u2019s local theatre.<\/p> If a scene is needed at Causton railway station Beaconsfield railway station steps up, while Watlington Library doubles up as Causton Library. <\/p> And Causton’s Police Station? Scenes there are filmed at Ramslade House, the former RAF Staff College, in Bracknell<\/p> In short Causton is a mix up of a variety of locations from a few different counties.<\/p> Fancy a beer? The picturesque fictional pub Black Swan in Badger’s Drift, where the characters usually end up enjoying a drink, is filmed at The Six Bells<\/a> in Waborough, Oxfordshire.<\/p> The village of Little Missenden – famously the home of author Roald Dahl<\/a> – has appeared in 13 episodes, including doubling up as Badger’s Drift in the very first episode.<\/p> Remember the model village episode where a victim was laid out like Gulliver in Lilliput?
