Bristol Old Vic "has a starring role in the series five opening episode," producer Michael Ray has revealed, when Ross and his friends decide to spend an evening at the theatre in London. This Grade 1 listed building was built in 1766 on King Street in Bristol, and is the oldest continually-operating theatre in the English-speaking world.
Now Poldark is an MP, the Westminster area of London has been recreated with the help of Greenwich Naval College, which you'll have almost certainly seen on screen before: it has been used as a filming location for Four Weddings and a Funeral, The Mummy Returns, The Avengers, Lara Croft Tomb Raider, Pirates of the Caribbean, Les Miserables, and Tho...
Poldark has been based at Bristol-based filming studio The Bottle Yard ever since the first series filmed in 2014.

Ross Poldark's lodgings in London may look pretty legit, but the exterior was actually filmed in Bristol – in St Nicholas Market. We also see some of London's Hyde Park in the series, but it's not actuallyHyde Park. Instead, producers used the grounds of Bowood House, a Georgian country house in Wiltshire with an extensive park and garden. The Lond...
Scenes featuring the exterior of Ross Poldark's rustic Nampara cottage are shot on Bodmin Moor, along with many other horseback scenes. The actual building that stands in for his cottage is located near St Breward. Bodmin Moor is also the site of the miners' cottages, and is home to Dr Dwight Enys's original cottage and Poldark Way.
The fictional Nampara Valley, part of the Poldark family estate, is filmed using St Agnes Head. Here, old engine houses perched on the cliff edge give a sense of the scale of Cornwall's mining heyday. Naturally, the area has also been used for those classic horse-riding scenes.
At the grander end of the scale is the Poldarks' ancestral home at Trenwith, where George now lives with son Valentine. Producers opted to use Chavenage House in Tetbury, Wiltshire. The Elizabethan mansion is now the family home of David Lowsley-Williams, but all signs of modern living (light switches, cables, radiators...) had to be covered up; gr...
Producers have made good use of Charlestown, near St Austell. It stands in for Poldark's version of Truro, and also – with its tall ships and old-fashioned appearance – plays the role of Falmouth.
The TV series shines a a light on Cornwall's mining heritage, with Ross's mine Wheal Grace. These scenes were filmed at the National Trust's Botallack mine, part of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site. The engine houses, situated between the town of St Just in Penwith and the village of Pendeen, were built in the mid-1800s at the height of the C...
Aidan Turner's Ross Poldark is particularly fond of clifftops and beaches. That's understandable when you consider Cornwall's gorgeous seaside locations. With a huge expanse of golden sand and grass tufted dunes, Holywell Bay has made several appearances – with encounters between Ross, Demelza and George Warleggan, and horseback races between Dwigh...
