Sally Wainwright has turned her hand to fantasy with new Disney Plus series Renegade Nell.
The show, which blends fairies, magical monsters and Georgian England, stars Derry Girls’ Louisa Harland as Nell Jackson, a young woman just back from the Battle of Blenheim.
Nell looks all set to settle back down in the village of Tottenham, where she grew up, but when she’s framed for a murder she didn’t commit, she’s forced on the run – and soon becomes one of the most feared highwaywomen in the land (with the help of a magical spirit called Billy Blind).
A swashbuckling adventure ensues as Nell grows determined to clear her name, with her journey taking audiences through miles of English countryside, as well as plenty of grand stately homes.

Bourne Wood, Farnham
Robbery scenes set around Tottenham were shot in the popular woodland near Farnham.
The countryside has previously been the backdrop to many TV series and films, including Ridley Scott’s film Napoleon, Gladiator, Harry Potter, Warhorse, Thor, Wonder Woman and Transformers 3, as well as Netflix‘s The Crown and The Witcher.
Bourne Wood offers 24-hour access, 365 days a year, free of charge. The woods are located just south of Farnham in Surrey.

The court scenes in Renegade Nell were shot in the courtyard of Oxford University’s Bodleian Library.
Guided tours of the interior of the library are £10 per person, but you can visit the exterior free of charge.
Rousham House & Gardens, Bicester
In one episode, Nell attempts to mingle with high society – though with disastrous consequences, we might add. These scenes were shot at Rousham House & Gardens.
