  • May 2021 we visit Detectorists filming locations in Framingham and associated areas whilst on holiday in Polstead. I made this video for my memories because I’m a huge fan of the show, I make no apologies for the length of the film and I’m sure if you enjoy the show you’ll understand. Here’s a revisit in 2023 with new locations!

    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!

    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roots caused it) 3) The electrical shop has closed (the owner retired after 42 years in business) 4) The scout hut has been replaced by a modern (and lifeless) building.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!!!!

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.

    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 😁

    Until I saw the detectorists I thought that Essex was less than desirable, now I want visit. Btw I think it was one of the best sitcoms ever. It had everything I look for in a programme, humour, compassion, empathy, beleivability and great acting by all. So much so that can't stand hearing let alone seeing Simon Farnaby as I hated his character so much (sorry Simon). It's up there with Doc Martin.

    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.

    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 .
