Outside, a small but stunning garden provides access to Greenwich Park’s incredible rose garden. Take a picnic and enjoy a brisk walk or a quiet amble. While Ranger’s House stands in for exteriors, Halton House, Bucks, owned by the RAF, is used for the interior scenes of the Bridgerton home, such as the grand hall, stairs, and hallways.

Old Wardour Castle, near Salisbury, Wilts, a unique hexagonal 14th century tower house, became Locksley Castle for the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, starring Kevin Costner as the man in green.
