Some of these Midsomer Murders’ film locations are places where Midsomer history has taken place. Not everything listed in my Midsomer Chronology can be located, and I don’t have the location for some of them. For the known locations – and I would like to thank Joan Street for midsomermurders.org once again – I have created a fictional map. It shows the location of the real film location, but with details of the building and the Midsomer location – and the Midsomer story.
